It's National Braille Week 2026!

For many blind and partially sighted people, Braille is an important tool for independence, accessibility and everyday life.

From reading books and identifying medication to accessing information and labelling everyday items, Braille can help people navigate the world with greater confidence.

But did you know that not everyone who is blind or partially sighted uses Braille?

Everyone experiences sight loss differently, and accessible information can take many forms, including Braille, large print, audio and digital formats.

This National Braille Week, we're celebrating the importance of Braille while recognising that accessibility is about giving people choice.

It’s an understandable worry when you first experience changes to your sight, but developing a visual impairment doesn’t automatically mean you have to stop driving.

The DVLA considers sight loss on a case-by-case basis. Depending on your level of vision and field of vision, you may still meet the required standards to drive safely.

However, some eye conditions and changes to your vision must be reported to the DVLA, so it’s important to understand the rules that apply to you. The RNIB provides useful guidance on what you need to report and when.

And if changes to your sight do affect your ability to drive, you don’t have to navigate that change alone. Bradbury Fields can talk through your concerns and provide advice on alternative ways to get around, including concessionary travel schemes.

Today is World Sight Day, a global opportunity to raise awareness of eye health, sight loss and the importance of looking after our eyes.

This year’s campaign encourages everyone to make their eye health a priority. Simple steps such as having regular eye tests, protecting your eyes from UV rays, taking breaks from screens and paying attention to changes in your vision can all play a part.

At Bradbury Fields, we also know that not all sight loss can be prevented. Every day, we support blind and partially sighted people across Merseyside to build confidence, develop skills and live as independently as possible.

This World Sight Day, look after your eyes, learn more about sight loss and help us create a more accessible and understanding community.

Have your say on accessible food labelling...

How easy is it for you to identify food products and access the information on their packaging?

Sight Scotland, together with Sight Scotland Veterans, Disability Equality Scotland and Oban and District Access Panel, is asking blind and partially sighted people across the UK to share their experiences in a short survey.

The Braille Food Labelling Campaign is calling for the product name to be included in Braille on food packaging, alongside accessible technology such as QR codes or NaviLens for further information.

The survey takes around 10 minutes, and your experiences will help provide evidence to food regulators and support the campaign for change.

You can complete the survey online, by phone, email or post, with Braille and large-print formats also available.

Survey closes 31 October 2026.

A pavement might look easy to navigate, but for someone who is blind or partially sighted, unexpected obstacles can make getting around independently much more difficult.

A-boards, bins, outdoor seating, parked vehicles and other objects left in pedestrian routes can create hazards – particularly when they appear unexpectedly or leave little room to pass safely.

Keeping pavements and walkways clear is a simple way businesses, organisations and individuals can help make our communities more accessible.

Next time you're out and about, take a look around: would this route be easy to navigate if you couldn't clearly see what was ahead?
