“Hi, I’m Chloe! I first became a client of SRSB/RSS at age 2 after being born with Cataracts and soon after, developing Glaucoma. I am extremely grateful for the support SRSB/RSS has provided throughout my life and even more so in the last year after experiencing deteriorating sight due to Corneal Decompensation.

"In Dec 2023, I began working at SRSB/RSS as a Children & Family Support Officer after completing my undergraduate degree in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and a postgraduate degree in Psychology and Education. This role involves supporting children and their families throughout their sight loss journey, which may be providing benefits support, co-ordinating activities for young people to meet one another and ensuring that children have the correct support in place to allow them to thrive. My role gives me the opportunity to develop and put into practice the knowledge and skills I gained at university, but also to shape the lives of young vision impaired people like myself as well as hearing impaired children.

"In my spare time I enjoy reading, crocheting and spending time with friends and family.

"I’m looking forward to getting to know our clients and families as well as experiencing the wonderful activities provided by SRSB/RSS and fundraising opportunities too.”
