Dr Amit Patel is a disability rights campaigner, fundraiser, independent diversity, inclusion and accessibility consultant and motivational speaker.

After coming to terms with his sight loss, Amit set out to help others that were new to sight loss by volunteering with the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association in England.

What would you do if you opened your eyes one morning and found you couldn’t see a thing?

When Lois Strachan lost her sight at the age of 21 she had to figure out how to live as a blind person in a sighted world. As an inspirational speaker, author and workshop facilitator Lois speaks openly about the reality of being blind and inspires her audiences to see their own lives in a different way, allowing them to reach beyond their challenges to success.

Lois is a disability advocate who is passionate about facilitating the inclusion of those who live with blindness or low vision into the workplace and the community.
