This week on In Plain Sight we had the delight of talking with Cara Gilkison, one of the founding members of the singing group The Lights. 
This fabulous group of singers and musicians are a group of five legally blind people who all love playing  music and singing. They  came together, initiated by Cara who leads the group, to start singing for a Christmas event in 2024.They are also fond favourites at the music appreciation afternoon at Visibility. 
Cara shares her lifelong appreciation and love of all things music.It was wonderful to hear from Cara about her personal passions for music as well as how she values being part of a community. We learn how all the members of this group really value the opportunity to share their abilities and not just be confined to limitations arising from our disabilities. 
As Christmas is quickly approaching it’s fantastic to hear bout these types of community based groups who love to share their time and talents to help brighten the lives of others.And who doesn’t enjoy a good sing-along at Christmas or anytime.
Cara’s story is just another fine example of fantastic people trying to make a positive difference and impact in the disability sector and their community. And it has been a great pleasure to bring you these stories every week, & shine a light on those who would be otherwise hidden in plain sight.   -  Many Thanks
