We conclude our Vision and Eye-Health Feature, “THE EYES HAVE IT” as we chat with Karen Knight, the Queensland General Manager of Vision Australia, about the wonderful services offered by VA for the vision impaired in our community. We look into the sad reality that, for many older Queenslanders, this time of year can be a lonely experience, and how organisations like the Red Cross reach out to people in this situation. The truth is we can ALL help to make a difference by giving some of our time to reach out to relatives, neighbours and even complete strangers, bringing some joy and ‘belonging’ to those in our community who might be lonely, socially isolated or unwell. We chat with COTA Queensland’s Lisa Hodgekinson about Emergency Respite during the holiday period, and also discuss how a small change in your shopping habits can help those in need !
