Story

Rosie, together with Tricia Griffiths, founded Coventry Resource Centre for the Blind in April 2010. Rosie herself was blind due to Macular Degeneration and knew only too well just how difficult life can be for people living with sight loss. Later on, the visual disturbances of Charles Bonnet Syndrome (which often occurs with Macular) made life even more challenging and she bore all this with her usual grace and determination. Rosie used her experience, common sense approach and humour to help and inspire so many other visually impaired people and made friends wherever she went.

In 2018, the charity was awarded the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service which recognised the tremendous work she did to engage and support our many wonderful volunteers, and in 2020 both Rosie and Tricia were awarded the British Empire Medal for their huge contribution to the local community in Coventry.

Rosie will be missed by all of us more than words can say!
