In our sight loss story this week, we talk about late diagnosis of sight loss, and what it's like to be a teacher with sight loss, as Hubert chats to Laura Francis.

In this podcast, Hubert chats to Andy from Be My Eyes, not only about what they are about and how they support blind and partially sighted people, but also a little birthday mention to Be My Eyes as well.

On guide dog blogs this week, Hubert chats to Liam Archer about his first guide dog George, this is quite a unique one, as Liam got his dog at the age of 14, and in this podcast, we find out exactly how this happened.
