If you want to feel empowered and knowledgeable about the world of
technology, then join our Accessible Technology sessions. Our Senior Accessibility
Advisor Alex can provide support with using a wide range of devices such as
smart phones, computers, tablets,
braille readers and much more. They can also offer support in how everyday devices can be used to support blind and partially sighted people in areas including
travel, finances, wellbeing and fitness, independent living and school. You can arrange a personal session online with Alex, designed just for you, or you and your family.
We also run a range of group workshops online. All sessions last between 1 and 1.5 hours and can be arranged at a date and time of your convenience.
The group usually meets at Jones Court at around 9.30 to
travel by
bus or train to the chosen starting point and returns by approximately 3 or 4pm. Sighted guides are available for those who need one. The group usually stops for a mid morning coffee stop so take a flask along. Lunchtime is usually spent at a local cafe along the route.

We work with individuals with sight loss to support them to run individual social action projects. This project equips people with sight loss with the skills and confidence to make a change in society. Individuals will learn a suite of skills such as campaigning, marketing and networking and they will be supported to lead their own social change project on a topic that is important to them, for example, improving access in their local community centre or public
transport, creating more recycling facilities in their community or working with a
service provider to make their written materials more accessible.
A door-to-door volunteer

Library records mentioning transport
Information produced by Bridgevis to give
bus drivers an awareness of the issues faced by
visually impaired people when trying to use bus services. (It is included in the
Transport edition of Roundup, number 13 – Summer 2013, pages 8-9.)
The accessibility challenges of some active
travel infrastructure for people with
vision impairment and other
disabled people. This research focuses on
bus stops and footways which have been designed to accommodate cycle lanes and the associated element of continuous footways, where sometimes the distinction between being on a footway and being in a roadway could be blurred.
For blind and partially sighted people, travelling independently is a critical factor to improve their quality of life and to achieve a sense of autonomy. However, with a wide breadth of accessibility issues, using public
transport can prove to be a daunting experience for people with sight loss.
Walking to shops, catching a
bus, train, taxi or going on
holiday can be challenging when you have sight loss. In this leaflet, you'll find information about
travel services and the assistance that’s available, along with useful tips to help you get out and about confidently.
