They visited as part of their work with National Trust to see how accessible the attraction is for blind and partially sighted people.

Yesterday members of the #Nottinghamshire Sight Loss Council reviewed promotional literature as part of their project to make #art #accessible . We hope our feedback will help make future events more #inclusive for #blind and #PartiallySighted people. Sight Loss Councils

Your Engagement Managers never switch off, you know. It may be Bank holiday weekend, but when there’s a chance to scope out the territory for your next Sight Loss Council #Dervyshire Sight Loss Councils

Thanks to the #Retford Macular Society group for inviting me to talk about the work of the #Nottinghamshire Sight Loss Council. Thanks also for sharing your experiences of accessing local services whilst being #blind and #PartiallySighted . Sight Loss Councils

I had a fascinating chat with REACT Accessibility ltd today. Locating bus stops and having #accessible real-time information in multiple formats is a key priority for #blind and #PartiallySighted people nationwide. Looking forward to hearing more about your work.

I am such a big fan of this system. I really wish more venues used it. Would make life so much easier.

It’s been a busy day so far at #VisionZone2024 Our amazing volunteers have been chatting with visitors about local issues affecting #blind and #PartiallySighted people across #Nottinghamshire

Want to know about the work of Sight Loss Councils ? Pop down to #VisionZone2024 hosted by My Sight Notts We’ll be here between 10 am and 2 pm. Look forward to chatting with you.

Today I supported colleagues from RNIB in their research into #wayfinding solutions. Great to discuss navigating the #BuiltEnvironment when #blind or #PartiallySightted . #collaboration

Great to be invited to the #InnovativeAudioDescription workshop with My Sight Notts Nottingham School of Art & Design and Nottingham Contemporary today. We discussed different approaches to describing #art to #blind and #PartiallySighted visitors, and even recorded sounds for a more immersive experience.

Great to see others campaigning for #AudioDescription at games. Was actually at Lincoln City on Saturday and the AD from Lincoln City Audio Description was exemplary, and not just when describing the Charlie Hughes winner 😉 #football #blind #inclusion Alan March Sport ltd

2/2 You can set X to remind you to include an #alt -tag when you post. Go to your profile, then Settings & Privacy, then Accessibility, then Media, and turn on the image description reminder. Hey presto, we can all enjoy those photos of your cat or your beans on toast.

1/2 Alt-text provides #blind and #PartiallySighted people with a description of visual content within your social media. Not only is it just nice to be #inclusive but it also means we are more likely to engage with your posts and buy your stuff. A win-win, situation, eh?
