But I was wrong. They taught me on a special computer, and while I was on the course, my son turned my spare room into an office. Blind Veterans UK set up a computer in there for me, and now I can sit and type away.” National Service veteran John Bull served in the UK and Egypt during the 1950s. “One of the best things about Blind Veterans UK is being able to meet people who’ve been through the same things you have.

This report shows the difference we’ve made to more than 5,500 ex-Service men and women including their families in 2013-14.

It’s as simple as that. Their SOMETHING PRECIOUS: help has allowed me to regain my independence. Thanks to the training HIS INDEPENDENCE and guidance I’ve received, I have the confidence to face the everyday challenges of being visually impaired. Losing your sight doesn’t just affect you. Like me, my family have to deal with my blindness on a daily basis. So it’s liberating to know that, should anything happen to me, Blind Veterans UK will still be there to support them. I consider myself to be extremely lucky. I now know that, whatever difficulties I face as a blind person, I don’t face them alone. There are more than 68,000 other veterans in my position who have not yet sought the help they deserve. I’m delighted that Blind Veterans UK are working to ensure more people benefit from the help and support I treasure so much. Please, tell everyone you know about Blind Veterans UK and its amazing work. Help the charity change the lives of more people like me. Sight loss doesn’t just affect the individual; its repercussions are felt throughout the Colin Williamson, entire family.

We’re now working with over 3,900 veterans - 708 more than last year. 3,900 • completed a total of 6,035 assessments, mostly in veterans own homes. Not everyone we support can make it to our centres.

  • Christ College Alumni Compendium
    CHRIST COLLEGE LIVES: FAITH AND WORK, LOVE AND LIFE FREDRICK BARTON ‘70, EDITOR CHAIR, CHRIST COLLEGE NATIONAL COUNCIL Christ College Lives: Faith and Work, Love and Life Introductory Remarks: CC Homecoming Celebration Saturday, September 30, 2017, 5:30 pm Fredrick Barton ‘70 I find it fitting to be stepping in front of this audience after being introduced by Dean Margaret Franson. It was she, after all, who assigned me the task of standing here at this moment. And that is fitting, too, because, as everyone who graduated from Christ College since 1991 knows first hand, Dean Franson is the engine that pulls the C.C. train. Our esteemed deans may have provided the broad vision, but Margaret Franson supervised the details. And this Golden Anniversary celebration of our founding, like so much about Christ College, has been a Margaret Franson project. I stand here now as one of her details. I frankly don’t recall whose idea it was as part of our anniversary celebration to solicit short biographies from our alumni. But once the idea was agreed to, Margaret volunteered me to edit the submissions into a compendium, which I hope you have had the chance to peruse or will take the chance to read through once the final edition is available. My own reading of these biographies has proven an exquisite pleasure. We C.C. alums have been up to some stuff the last half century, and our compendium is a forthright indication of outstanding individual achievement indicative of amazing programmatic success. I am incredibly pleased to have my own biography nestled among all of these others.

  • Fall 2011 a Publication of the University of Bridgeport
    U B KNIGHTLINES FALL 2011 A PUBLICATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BRIDGEPORT FALL 2011 Building Excellence The campus gets a $7 million upgrade ALSO INSIDE The Grand Finale • Peace Maker • Give a Miracle 1 U B KNIGHTLINES FALL 2011 President’s Line Dear Friends, Academic Year 2011-12 is bound to be memorable for many reasons, not the least of which is that it began (literally) with a bang. The earthquake that shook much of the Northeast on August 23 rumbled through the Bridgeport area as students were returning to campus. Following close on the heels of this rare event was the approach of Irene, the first hurricane in 25 years forecast to hit Bridgeport directly. On Saturday, the 27th, in advance of Irene, all of our recently arrived freshman students and returning athletes and staff were evacuated to higher ground at nearby Sacred Heart University Because of extraordinary planning and effort by many dedicated UB personnel, the University weathered the storm with minimal damage to the campus and no loss of electrical power. Students returned to their dormitories on Sunday, as soon as the storm had moved on. Move-in day, the first day of classes, and welcome activities were rescheduled, and the new school year is now well underway. Events such as these, which are out of our control, remind us how much all of us in the University community depend on each other and draw strength from our collective commitment to UB. Over the summer, a number of UB departments worked collaboratively to complete a wide variety of campus restoration, Neil Albert Salonen repair, and renewal projects.
