Access should be a right, not a fight.

Imagine being turned away from a café, refused a taxi or told you can’t enter a shop, simply because you have an assistance dog with you.

For too many assistance dog owners, this is an everyday reality. In fact, 88% of guide dog owners have been wrongly refused access to a business or service, some of them repeatedly.

Nobody should have to fight to go about their day. Yet challenging discrimination can be costly, stressful, and time-consuming. That’s why we’re calling on the Government to make the law clearer and improve access to justice for assistance dog owners.

Help us open doors. Sign our petition by following this link: https://bit.ly/4hQJuPG 💛

A second cardboard sign in front of his guide dog reads “Don’t stop my owner getting a pint of milk”.]

National Braille Week.
What is Braille?

Braille is a grid of six dots; the position of the individual dots within this grid represents letters, numbers, and punctuation.

Braille is read from left to right by moving the fingertips across the raised bumps. Often read with two hands, one guiding the other across the page

For people with poor sensitivity, such as guitar players, or people with manual jobs where fingers can become callused, jumbo braille is often helpful.

Braille is also used to read music and maths.

Hello All
This week is National Braille Week, and we will be sharing interesting facts about Braille during the week.

Did you know that over 20, 000 - 25,000 people in the UK read Braille?
Braille was developed in the 1820's by Louis Braille; he was only 15 years old at the time.
To find out more, we have added a link from the BBC; it's a short video providing a 3-minute history of Braille

How 15-year-old Louis Braille invented a revolutionary tactile code for the visually impaired.
