Great Yarmouth station now has a new art exhibition created by blind and partially sighted people.

The exhibition, ‘Do You See What I See?’, launched last month and explores life from the perspective of those with sight loss.

It aims to challenge misconceptions about art and people who are blind.

Greater Anglia helped fund this project with their Customer and Community Improvement Fund, the grant for which was awarded to Thomas Pocklington Trust.

“We are pleased to support this initiative to help raise awareness and increase understanding of what the world can look like for blind and partially sighted people. Great Yarmouth is a busy station, so I hope that the artwork will be seen by many people, offer food for thought and help raise the profile of Thomas Pocklington Trust, Sight Loss Councils and the valuable work that they do.

“We are always looking to enhance the role of the railway in support of the community it serves, and our Customer and Community Improvement Fund is a way of supporting further locally focused enhancements in line with community needs.”

Greater Anglia’s Partnerships Manager, Scott Dolling
