The severe lack of sight won’t stop a blind Leeds man strive to help his community, as he claims "you don’t need your eyesight to support people".
Craig Winstanley, 47, has laughed in the face of adversity, pointing out his lack of sight won’t hold him back. The father of two has relied on disability allowance his whole life but is now “giving back”, by volunteering at a Leeds foodbank and helping ex-convicts rehabilitate into society.
Craig, from Seacroft, is currently volunteering for the St Giles Trust, which has a centre in Savile Mount, Chapeltown. Blighted with a rare eye disease since birth, retinitis pigmentosa, he only has three per cent vision compared to most people.
