Torch Trust is a Christian organisation with a worldwide vision for people with sight loss. We produce a weekly radio programme called Reflections which airs on RNIB Connect Radio.. The show focuses on faith and disability in today’s world and here you can find a podcast version of the show. Uploaded weekly, after our Sunday broadcasts, this version has had music tracks removed.
On this week’s episode, we’re joined by Charlotte Carson from LOOK who shares about how this amazing charity is supporting young people with sight loss in a variety of incredible ways!
This week’s Reflections is all about Fathers’ Day! In the show we explore God as the Father and his all-encompassing love for each of us, his children, as well as chatting with some visually impaired earthly fathers!
This week’s theme is Celebrating Torch Groups, featuring a great chat with David Arthur who runs our Southwark Group along with his wife Sheila. The group has been going strong since 2007 and is a lovely, diverse, welcoming space.
This week’s theme is “Church Family” and we’re sharing the story of how Emma Meade, who is blind, experienced a very frightening fire at her home, but has come through the experience with a new outlook on life thanks to the love poured out around her by her church family.
This week we’re asking ‘is seeing really believing?’ and we’re learning more about two very different people named Thomas: so-called ‘Doubting Thomas’ and Tom Burditt, one of Torch’s newest staff members!
On this week’s podcast, we share personal spiritual reflections and life lessons we’ve learned. Join us to be comforted and uplifted by these tales of love and faith.

Sunday April 23rd was the date of the London Marathon 2023 – and on Reflections, we’ve been talking to one of the runners! Hazel Groves, longtime friend of Torch, discusses running as a visually impaired person, and how running gives her space to get closer to God.
