I had a fascinating chat with @REACTaccess 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 @SLCouncils ? Pop down to #VisionZone2024 hosted by @mysightnotts 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 @mysightnotts @NTUArtandDesign and @Nottm_Contemp 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 @lincolncity on Saturday and the AD from @lincolncityAD was exemplary, and not just when describing the @CharlieHughes32 winner 😉 #football #blind #inclusion @AlanMarchSport

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?
And then come on down to @Southportpkrun 👍
And then come on down to @Southportpkrun 👍
Come and join our next '#EyeCare and You' webinar, in which we will explore the world of navigation apps for blind and partially sighted people and get your questions answered. When: Tuesday 16th April, 7 – 8 pm More info and registration: bit.ly/49ofVz4
Really looking forward to seeing the finished article! 🚍

I’ve got a huge bee in my bonnet about matchday audio commentary at the moment. My club’s isn’t great if I’m honest, but I’ve heard some exemplary AD this season (albeit describing my team losing!). Neil @CambridgeUtdFC my pick of the bunch so far.
