Yesterday the #Nottinghamshire SLC visited the fascinating Creswell Crags 🦣 to review the #accessibility of exhibits and outdoor spaces. We are really looking forward to further collaboration And well done me for not losing any volunteers down the cave! 🙌🦣 Sight Loss Councils

Great work in highlighting the kind of obstacles that #blind and #PartiallySighted people face on a daily basis. 👏 #StreetsForAll 🧑‍🦯

Sounds like a fantastic project. Our new #Derbyshire SLC hopes to initiate a similar project very soon, so we will watch on with interest.

I’ve got so much of a bee in my bonnet about this at the moment that I spent last Saturday writing a guide to help people know how to do this. Please consider alt text when adding images to your posts; They add a great deal of context for those of us unable to see images.

At a hospital appointment today the receptionist saw my white cane and immediately directed all questions to my wife. Honestly didn’t expect a “Does he take sugar?” Moment in 2024! I have a cane, but I have a brain! 🦯🧠

I cannot read #Braille but have the utmost respect for all who can. Whilst recording audio guides for our tram network, I was bowled over by the fluency of one of our Braille readers who read so professionally. All power to your elbows (well, fingers)! #NationalBrailleWeek

The #wafc result aside, the top class audio description from Neil and Tom at Cambridge United FC made for a much more enjoyable matchday experience yesterday. The stewards were also amazing in meeting my daughter’s mobility needs. Great inclusive practice! 👏

I absolutely love the dedication of our Sight Loss Councils volunteers. You know when you've got a good team when they send you photos of accessible signage whilst on holiday in Japan! These photos show tactile plates alerting passengers of train exits and the end of handrails. 👨‍🦯🇯🇵

Yesterday members of the #Derbyshire SLC delivered sight loss awareness to staff and volunteers from #Derby Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill . Participants heard our volunteers' personal stories, learned about eye conditions and practised guiding a #blind visitor around the museum. Sight Loss Councils

Today the #Nottinghamshire Sight Loss Councils delivered vision awareness to NET Nottingham Tram and Tramlink Nottingham staff.the group discussed how to make tram travel #accessible and took part in a simulation glasses trip to experience a journey as a #blind or #PartiallySighted passenger. 🚊🧑‍🦯

Amazing what a bit of #AudioDescription and AudioCommentary can do to enhance an experience. Well done Winter Wonderland and Wembley Stadium for making my weekend so much more #inclusive. #VisualImpairment

A great couple of days for the #Nottinghamshire and #Derbyshire Sight Loss Councils discussing the #accessibility of museum exhibits with Creswell Crags 🦣 and Museum of Making at Derby Silk Mill . Amongst other things, we discussed audio-labelling devices, swell ink, QR and NaviLens® Empowering Visually Impaired codes.

Looking forward to sharing the work of Sight Loss Councils with delegates at today’s Skills for Care midlands conference. What a great opportunity to promote our vision awareness sessions to professionals from within the care sector.

Yesterday the #Nottinghamshire SLC delivered vision awareness to the wonderful Creswell Crags 🦣 education team. We covered #AudioDescription of artefacts, creating information in alternative formats, and sighted guiding. 🦣🧑‍🦯 ##AccessibleArtsAndCulture

I had a fascinating day last week talking through the #AudioDescription of handling exhibits with Hope from Derby Museums . It was such an immersive way to #MakeMuseumsAccessible to #blind and #PartiallySighted visitors. Here I am holding a 120,000 year old hippo scapula!

Today Sight Loss Councils volunteer Jules and I joined the #Derby #Access Panel to appraise the #accessibility of the impressive new @becketwelllive venue. Thanks to the receptive venue team for facilitating the productive chats a round #VisionImpairment.
