“For me there are a thousand reasons why VICS exists. But to put it simply the blind and partially sighted community, or which ever terminology people wish to use, have a right to stand on stage and perform on our terms as much as anyone else in the performing world, and dare I say it, we also have insightful stories to tell.” - Kirin Saeed

“VICS has helped me to gain confidence while exploring my art in a safe and supportive environment. Through this work I have been given incentive to practice artistic skills and challenge myself to try new things. As well as skill development I have made realistic and helpful connections within the performing arts industry. On may it go!” - Kellie Dingwall

“The world of stand-up comedy can often be a dark and lonely one, add into the mix sight impairment and these issues are greatly increased, so having the support of VICS means you can share experiences with others who understand and through understanding comes support and encouragement!” - Neil Skene

“For me, the most exciting thing about being part of VICS is the opportunity to learn about other people’s experiences of Visual Impairment, and to find artistic, creative ways to share our experiences with a wider community.” - Alyson Woodhouse
