'cool looks for me' for young people with visual impairment project

Sept 2010 - sept 2011

 

The Cool Looks project delivering beauty courses to young people with visual impairmen andst ran with great success for a year. All the young people attending the courses really enjoyed the day and the courses made a real difference. The Cool Looks project has now reached a successful end.

'Cool Looks for me'

In the development of 'Cool Looks for Me' we have worked with some fantastic young women who themselves have a visual impairment and who have offered us valuable feedback on the techniques we have developed. They have been invaluable in our research and development, and we would like to thank them for their help and also to fellow colleagues who made it possible for us to meet and work with the young women.

In June we were very excited to hold our first pilot of 'Cool Looks for Me'

Below are some photographs taken of one of the young women who took part in the pilot..
