Islington Report written by Caterina Farulla
The workshop with Achilles International was a powerful and eye-opening experience (literally!). We were blindfolded to simulate what it’s like to run without sight, which really helped us understand the level of trust and communication needed between a guide and a visually impaired runner.
We then took turns guiding and being guided during short runs, learning the ropes—quite literally! The team also walked us through different types of visual impairments and how to tailor our support depending on the individual's needs.
It was informative, inspiring, and left all of us with a deeper appreciation for accessible running and the strength of the Achilles community. Huge thanks to the organisers and participants!

Josh, Chris, Samina, Dani and Pete met at Beer n Burger, did a quick warm up, then jogged approx 3 km to meet Ajay in West Hampstead ( we finally got there after Pete got lost, there was plenty of help at hand though). Beatriz arrived then Ajay arrived on a beautiful summer eve and gave us tools to weed with - cutters, hoes, forks and gloves. We all worked really hard completely removing all the weeds from the planter box, feeling 2 huge green waste bags and also removing plenty of rubbish. We still had a little time so we went around the corner and did the same for another planter box, another good job. Thanks to everyone and to AJ. We then walked to Kilburn high road as a cool down and Beatriz went her way, the rest jogged back to B and B. Josh peeled off home as he had to go, the rest ended up in B and B and had a lovely cool drink and chat. Thank you so much to Dani who came to GG Brent for the first time, we hope you come back. See you next time.
