Amar Latif inspires at the Len Pick Memorial Evening

25 October 2024

On Friday, 18th October 2024, Amar Latif OBE inspired an audience at the Bourne Corn Exchange for the 2024 Len Pick Memorial Evening.

Amar spoke about his determination to live life to the full, despite being blind since the age of eighteen. He spoke about his travels across the world, featuring on the BBC’s Beyond Boundaries documentary, and later how he founded his own company, Traveleyes, which takes blind and sighted travellers on journeys across the planet.

The evening was hosted by Tracy Hulme, who held a fireside chat with Amar in the second part of the evening. Here, the audience learnt more about his career as an accountant at BT, and how he uses technology to assist him in every day life.

We were also pleased to be joined by the Bourne Grammar School’s Chamber Choir, who gave an uplifting performance to start the evening.

Earlier in the afternoon, Amar visited the Bourne Willoughby School, where he spoke to pupils who also live with visual impairments.
