Summary
Five blind and partially sighted individuals took center stage in Glasgow to deliver powerful speeches after completing a transformative public speaking course co-led by RNIB Scotland and the Glasgow Speakers Club. The program was designed to build confidence and communication skills for everyday life — from job interviews to community engagement. Participants, including Claire Forde, praised the supportive, uplifting environment and the profound sense of achievement they felt. Their heartfelt stories — about living with sight loss, volunteering, and personal growth — moved a packed audience that included the Lord Provost of Glasgow. RNIB Scotland and Glasgow City Council hailed the initiative as vital, celebrating the power of voice and community for those often overlooked.
