About Our Work: Working With Groups
"...it's fantastic that we can have these books through the post and have up-to-date interesting ones sent to us. It's terrific."
"Living Paintings has made a huge difference to my daughter's life and I'd like to ask you to make a difference to other children's as well."
Do you know of a local voluntary group or organisation who would benefit from our service or are you interested in setting up a group?
Not only are we happy to offer our free Library service to visually impaired people in their own home, but we also have a number of organizations/individuals who use our Albums as the basis for a regular group activity for blind and partially sighted people. We are able to provide everything to help a group run easily. We can send typed scripts of the audio commentaries if these are more suitable than using a tape, although the tapes provide a variety of voices to listen to. Any number of raised images (thermoforms) can be sent, and the group leader will have the Master Album to work from in advance. We can provide as much material as you require for as many people within your group, in the hope that everyone gets a great deal of pleasure from exploring the world of art and sharing in the experience. Every group has its own particular needs, so do ask us if you have any special requests.
We have guidelines for the setting up of a group, which were written by one of our group leaders who has successfully run a number of groups for many years. We would be happy to send you a copy.
We are here to help in any way we can - call 01635 299771 Monday to Friday 9.30am – 5pm or alternatively email us on lpt@livingpaintings.org
