In advance of #PurpleTuesday, we have created a guide for retailers with tips on how to make their stores more accessible and how to better support their visually impaired customers. Please share to help us reach more retailers. Thank you. bit.ly/2ZOYLwr

Fascinating to hear about what @RNIBScotland, @guidedogsscot, @SightScotland and @SightScotVets were doing during the #pandemic to provide support to people with sight loss and visual impairment during the “Staying connected in the community” workshop! #ScotVision2021


I'm looking forward to talking this afternoon about My Sighted Guide and the impact of covid-19 on social isolation. #ScotVision2021 #MySightedGuide @guidedogsscot @RNIBScotland @SightScotland
