Blindfold Netwalking – A Networking Event with a Difference

About
This isn’t your typical business networking event. It’s a powerful and eye-opening opportunity to step into the shoes of someone living with sight loss – all while connecting with fellow professionals and supporting a life-changing cause.Participants will walk in pairs – one blindfolded and one guiding – on a short but meaningful route through Manchester city centre. Starting at Parsonage Gardens, the walk will take approximately 45 minutes each way, with participants swapping roles at the halfway point.
The walk will be led by none other than our co-founder Mike Newman, the world’s fastest blind man, accompanied by his guide dog, Stan.
All blindfolds and safety instructions will be provided on the day. A map and route details will also be issued before we begin.
Afterwards: Celebration Gathering at Banyan Manchester, featuring a delicious hot buffet and a fantastic opportunity to continue networking in style. • Fundraising Goal: £150 per participant.
