Social Happy Hour – April, 2021

Join us for more Guide Dogs Social Happy Hour sessions in April!

Open to anyone experiencing a vision loss, as well as family and friends, it’s a chance to catch up for a chat and meet new people, all from the comfort of your own home.

Held via Zoom, the platform is fully accessible and can be used on your phone, computer or tablet. Each session will run for 45 – 60 minutes and will be facilitated by a Guide Dogs staff member.

The Social Happy Hour will run throughout 2021 with a different theme each month. Our sessions are both fun and educational, and are a great way to stay connected and build confidence in a relaxed, supportive environment.

Our theme for April is Want to try a new activity?, with two sessions to come along to. Explore new hobbies to take up and enjoy. 

Session 1: Gardening
Do you experience challenges working in your existing garden? Have you considered starting your own kitchen garden? Gardening can still be an enjoyable and therapeutic experience after vision loss. Explore new ideas to help create your own sensory garden.
