Social Activities

We have a full range of regular social activities to suit all ages, as well as one off events.

We recently took part in a project with the local arts organisation “Metal”.  They have created an online gallery with audio description of the people of Southend in Sight – this includes beneficiaries, staff, Trustees, volunteers, supporters and wider families. As part of this project, the people who were photographed talked about themselves, their involvement with us and what our charity means to them. Please click on this link to listen to what they have to say:
