Staff, volunteers and visually impaired service users at Henshaws Society for Blind People helped to develop our audio guides to make them fit for purpose - and they now have Henshaws' stamp of approval.
"I was delighted to provide the audio description for the museum's new audio guide. I work with arts organisations all around the country to promote accessibility for blind and visually impaired people and we have excellent examples of good practice here in the North West."
Anne Hornsby, Director, Mind's Eye Description Service
