A calendar to show how visually impaired people use their other senses toe njoy the world around them has been produced.

British Wireless for the Blind Fund has worked with final year students from the photography department at the University of the Creative Arts in Rochester to create the calendar.

Georgette Freed, Rebecca Hallett, Julie Kahila, Amanda King and Victoria Widdowson took up the challenge of using visual imagery to provide an insight into the sensational landscape of the blind and partially sighted.

BWBF Patron Cheryl Baker said: “I think the collaboration between BWBF and UCA is absolutely fantastic.
