40th Anniversary Celebration and Tea Saturday 7th September 2013 3PM City Church

Over 100 people in the UK are told every day that their sight has irretrievably deteriorated and Torch Fellowship Groups working together with local churches are ideally placed to reach out to the visually impaired especially those with recent sight loss.

Carol and Brian Nokes from Torch headquarters will be talking about some of the initiatives which support this activity:

• the “Moving Forward” weekends held at the Torch Holiday and Retreat Centre in Sussex where newly blind people receive practical information and encouragement
• the Reflections radio programme which highlights how disabled Christians overcome everyday challenges, is broadcast weekly on Premier Christian Radio and Insight Radio, the RNIB national radio station
• TorchTalk which uses the latest teleconferencing technology to enable groups of blind people who are often isolated to have fellowship together and discuss a common theme over the phone.  
• Torch Book Groups which are small groups of people meeting together to discuss a Christian book which is available in accessible formats, and the
• Worship for All facility which will enable churches to produce their newsletters and worship materials conveniently in a variety of print sizes.

You are welcome to bring along visually impaired friends and relatives who would like to learn about what Torch could provide for them.
