Kind Thanks to….
All those who are directly helping this project to fulfil its potential – Gabby, Jo, Audrey (Jo’s Mum who helped out at the clinic over Xmas and was a willing ‘body’ for our students) and Melanie and her partner Renato, (our newest volunteers) who will be attempting to build upon all their good work in February.


A Warm Welcome Back to….
Jo Chatfield, who took a month out of her busy massage practice to volunteer for a second time for Seeing Hands over the Christmas period. Gabby Rogers kickstarted our new students' training in November and thanks to the dedicated effort put in by Gabby and Jo, they are already showing promise and making speedy progress.


Best of all, under Jo's instruction, Chiran and Anita have both passed their final exams. They are delighted to have qualified and to be finally working alongside their co-students in the clinic. The new students have also done their first-ever massages on a few volunteer clients and the feedback is already encouraging.
