Director/Trustee at Warwickshire Vision Support

Warwickshire Vision Support provides both statutory rehabilitation services and voluntary support services to blind and partially sighted people in Warwickshire. Our mission is help people to build and maintain independence and control over their lives and to reduce the level of social isolation that they may experience. We’ve been doing that since 1911.

Vice Chair of Advisory Board for the Accessible Books Consortium

The Accessible Books Consortium (ABC) aims to increase the number of books worldwide in accessible formats – such as braille, audio and large print – and to make them available to people who are blind, have low vision or are otherwise print disabled. The ABC is a multi-stakeholder partnership, comprising World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO); organisations that serve people with print disabilities; and organisations representing publishers and authors.
