New Events System Test

We’re now in a position to offer a free online group focussing on fostering resilience and responding mindfully to the Coronavirus outbreak. The sessions are free to join and will last around an hour. The course will focus on strategies to deal effectively with anxieties and difficulties you might be feeling during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We will be talking about the experience and challenges of shopping for essential supplies, plus hearing an update on all the latest resources available for blind and partially sighted people during the lock-down. We will also be inviting your questions and suggestions about what the Braillists Foundation can do for the community.

Do you want to learn braille but are unsure where to begin? Are you familiar with braille but think your Braille skills could use a polish? Are you a keen braille reader wanting to connect with other braille enthusiasts? Are you seeking tips for using a piece of braille equipment? Our Braille Bar sessions are an opportunity to share tips and advice, brush up on skills and talk with other braille users, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced Braillist. We’ll be running the sessions every week, so we hope to build a real community around the Braille Bar.

We’ll be talking about accessible equipment, utensils and techniques. We’ll chat store cupboard essentials, and Emma will walk us through a recipe for Spaghetti Bolognese to try over the coming week.
