That this House pays warm tribute to the late Jenny Cobley for her decades of dedication to the As You Like It Club for the blind and partially sighted in Stratford-upon-Avon; notes that since the 1970s Jenny ran the club with boundless kindness, energy and humour, providing entertainment, companionship and a lifeline of support to those living with sight loss; recognises her tireless work in co-ordinating transport for members through the local charity VASA, ensuring that no one was left isolated or unable to attend; further notes her extraordinary courage and commitment in continuing to lead the club even after losing her own sight during the covid pandemic; commends her husband Rob Cobley for carrying on her legacy as Chair and Treasurer; and expresses heartfelt thanks to them both for their outstanding contribution to the visually impaired community in Stratford-upon-Avon and beyond.
