Alison Bates
Trustee
My name is Alison, I have been involved with Look Sussex for over 2 years. As a visually impaired adult I see and experience the world how many of our children do.
I take pride in pushing the boundaries on different kinds of activities for the children to experience, it is great getting to know each child and being there to see them grow in confidence. Our older children/young adults speak to me often at our events and enjoy finding out all the fun I’ve had and places I have been in spite of my disability which could easily hold me back.
I have two children who both have problems with their vision, one is registered blind and the other is visually impaired, they love being part of Look Sussex and coming to the days out, the best part is them making friends like themselves who they see outside of our events.
