 We are sometimes asked to promote events or to make short announcements that could be of particular interest to someone who lives with sight loss in the UK.
We are happy to pass on the information that we've been given (please refer to the Infosound editorial code of practice). Whenever possible we will give relevant contact details so you can get further information.
This Infosound 'Noticeboard' was last updated on 23rd July 2010.
It's possible that we may have produced more information about groups, projects, services or events that are mentioned here. So it could be worth checking both the current edition of the weekly Infosound Briefing and our current selection of audio features to find out whether we have any further information on the subject.

This year's guide dog awareness-raising 'week' will actually span two weekends so the charity can increase its street collections and other fundraising activities. The theme for the event is yet to be announced.
