Emily Banks
Emily has been working in the advice and guidance sector for over 14 years and is currently working for the RNIB.
She was born with a genetic eye condition which has been slowly deteriorating over the years.
Emily has been a regular participant since the early beginnings of the project in 2013. She enjoys all the activities that are on offer – in particular caving, climbing and cycling. She has competed in 5 triathlons with VoA’s help, something She never thought possible. Emily believes that VoA has given her life changing experiences that have helped her to grow as a person and cope with her sight loss.
Emily has been involved as an informal consultant for several years, always available for advice, testing new systems etc. She now feels honoured to take a formal role be in a position to help others access to VoA’s activities. |
