Blind veteran from Hampshire reaches semi-finals of the prestigious Holman Prize

A blind veteran from Hampshire, who has been invited to compete in the inaugural Holman Prize, has been selected as one of the semi-finalists.

Penny Melville-Brown OBE from Fareham was initially invited to compete for the $25,000 prize as a result of the profile she has built for herself across the internet and social media through her online baking project, Baking Blind. If successful, Penny intends to take the project global. First, however, she’ll be required to draw up a detailed plan of exactly how she’d intend to use the money if she were to win.

New Forces in Mind Trust award: Anglia Ruskin University to research ways of supporting Commonwealth Personnel and families
