Padraic McLoughlin, who is a Fighting Blindness
member and lives in Donegal, said, “I’ve had
on-going trouble with my sight since birth and lost
it completely when I was a teenager. I heard of
Fighting Blindness through a mutual friend, they’re
a really great support.
“I’m looking forward to attending the Living with
Sight Loss course and I can’t recommend it enough to
others who are living with a visual impairment of
any degree. Tap into the resources that are
available – they can change your life.”
The course is available to anyone living with sight
loss in Donegal and the nearby border region of
Leitrim, Sligo or Northern Ireland. Places are
limited and must be booked in advance by contacting:
