British Wireless for the Blind Fund is now Visably.

Meet Meg.
New to Visably – and on a mission to help make worlds wider and lives brighter through tech.
She joined our small yet mighty team around the table this week (with plenty of tea), getting stuck into plans for new tech support, more volunteers and more ‘I can’ moments.

Your experience of sight loss can shape what we do and how we do it.

Turns out not everyone was captivated at our recent brand launch event. Like this guy, who thought he'd take the chance to grab 40 winks.

As tech changes, we adapt. But everything we do is rooted in our incredible legacy...
It all started when some mates built a makeshift radio for their friend who'd lost his vision in battle. That act of love sparked a movement that continues today.

Football has always been a big part of Ian’s life – and sight loss wasn’t going to change that.
We provided him with an accessible pocket radio so he can follow live commentary at Bristol Rovers matches for himself.
As Ian says: “The pocket radio gives my independence back.”

When tech's not a friend, it can feel like an enemy.
Our research showed how, at it's best, tech can be a key to better mental health for someone with sight loss. But a bad tech experience can tap into feelings of inadequacy.
