Throwback to our session at Specsavers HQ earlier this year.
Colleagues came together to participate in powerful conversations on accessibility, awareness, and lived experience, making it an energising and collaborative day.
Now we are looking ahead to the PAC Conference 2025 in Birmingham on Sunday, 14th September!
For over 30 years, Specsavers Professional Advancement Conferences have delivered world class clinical education and professional development, growing into one of the largest events of its kind with multiple learning tracks, exhibition spaces and large scale peer discussions.

We are excited to be part of this year’s PAC, delivering a Q&A panel and hosting an exhibition stand to keep inclusion at the heart of the conversation.

✨ Voices of Learn With ESS | Azeem ✨

I’m Azeem Amir, 26, from Rochdale. Born with a visual impairment, no vision in my right eye and light perception in my left, life has always been about adapting. Whether it’s travelling, working, or using technology, I’ve relied on other senses like listening and built strategies to stay independent. At the core, I’ve always believed that I can achieve just as much (if not more) as someone with full sight.

Advocating for disability awareness is close to my heart. Not just for those with visual impairments like me, but for anyone with hearing, physical, sensory, or invisible disabilities. Awareness sparks empathy, and empathy drives inclusion. That’s what I love about Learn With ESS workshops: they’re interactive, fun, and always leave people talking about accessibility, mindset, and inclusion long after the session ends.

Looking ahead, my vision for the next 10 years is simple but powerful:
• More genuine conversations between disabled and non disabled people, breaking down barriers and misconceptions.
• Schools and workplaces embedding disability awareness and training into everyday practice.
• A society that doesn’t just make space, but actively offers a helping hand - kind, supportive, and inclusive in the everyday.

Amazing to spend the day with Manchester Settlement on their staff away day!

Led by CEO Adrian Ball, the team came together to recharge, reflect, and boost positivity after the summer break. Their commitment to supporting communities across Manchester is truly inspiring, from education and youth work to wellbeing and inclusion.

Recently, we had the privilege of working with Springhill Hospice 💚It was a brilliant afternoon exploring the hospice environment and supporting the team to experience what daily navigation feels like without sight, hearing, or mobility. Here’s what Lucy Fieldhouse (Digital Marketing Officer) had to say after the session. 💚💙🧡

And that’s a beautiful close to three days of celebration! 💜

This year’s reimagined staff conference focused on recognising one another, connecting deeply, and celebrating the strength of our team.

We were thrilled to welcome the Mayor of Oldham, Councillor Eddie Moores to our event, adding even more meaning to the occasion✨

A special shout-out to Learn With ESS and our incredible former client, Azeem for leading a powerful session on inclusion, it left us all inspired.

Today, Reception had a very informative session with Learn With ESS about the equipment used to help people with disabilities in every day life. Azeem, showed us how he plays sport with a visual impairment and what words we could use to describe different disabilities.
