For all in the UK - please sign and share this letter set up by Connor Scott-Gardner to show your support for Braille transcription services run by RNIB which are being cut | “RNIB has scrapped its free personal braille transcription service, leaving blind people to cover the cost themselves. Large print is still free, this isn't equality! Sign the open letter urging RNIB to reverse this decision”

@disability I’m now putting together an email to send to RNIB about the cuts to the #Braille transcription service, thinking about how it’s helped me in the past and how I was looking to use it again because I’m finding I can’t tolerate reading on my electronic Braille display for long periods any more due to a repetitive strain injury. I’m finding paper Braille much kinder to my hands and fingertips but that the Braille library has a very limited backlist. There are some authors I just prefer to read in Braille. If you want to send your own story and opinions, there’s some pointers on the website here: https://saveourbraille.wordpress.com/get-involved/
