S2 Ep1283: Describing Heritage: Co-creating Access

VocalEyes the national charity providing access to the arts for blind and partially sighted people through audio description have just been awarded a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant to explore, with the input of blind and partially sighted people from a number of Thomas Pocklington Trust Sight Loss Councils, the co-creation of audio description in 10 heritage hubs across England to improve access in museums, galleries and heritage sites for visually impaired people.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Olivia Hewkin, Museums, Galleries and Heritage Programme Manager at VocalEyes to find out more about the ‘Describing Heritage: Co-creating Access’ project and how blind and partially sighted Thomas Pocklington Trust Council members will be able to play their role in the project too.
