Show Notes
Blind and partially sighted individuals rallied in Westminster, advocating for improved vision rehabilitation support across the UK. They aim to end the postcode lottery in services, which leaves people without necessary skills and tools for independence. Charmaine Ashpole and Frankie Brady shared their personal experiences, highlighting the importance of rehabilitation aids in navigating a visual world and combating isolation. Research indicates patchy services and long wait times for assessments, with the RNIB calling for national guidelines, regulated professionals, and quicker access to care.
