Support: Invest in a guide of your journey
We support blind or learning disabled people directly. For caretakers and professionals, who care for or work with our beneficiaries, we offer consultancy sessions. Moreover, we support researchers and businesses through project collaboration and co-creation.
Why get our support?
We know from experience, a written guide is not always enough. Sometimes we just need a little more hands-on support. That’s why we come to you, listen to your needs and unique circumstances, and why we want to help.
What people say
Daniel was an exceptional mentor to me. He is a great listener and he always tried to give the most informed answers possible to my questions and he was willing to share his personal experiences with me during our partnership. He was also a great role model for me in terms of what a visually impaired person can achieve. his support and finding about his experiences helped me a lot to build my confidence and encouraged me to achieve my ambitions. - Zehra Yunel
I think Danielle is such a positive member of the team, she is so proactive and sets a good example of how to tackle her work and deal with challenges. She has real drive to learn and succeed and do things well, and support others to get involved. - Sarah Pickard
From ensuring PDF accessibility to testing websites and pages as a screen reader user, Daniel has utilised his lived experience and technical knowledge surrounding digital accessibility and assistive technologies to bring incredibly helpful insight to a number of projects. I would recommend him in a heartbeat; he is thorough, engaging and a joy to chat with! - Emily Yates

Where will the session take place?
The location of support sessions will depend on the type of support required. We are based in East Sussex, England. However, our skills can reach far with the help of the internet.
To illustrate where it all happens, let’s look at an example, with ten sessions in our signature skill studio, Studio27:
- Session 1 (consultancy): an initial in-person session at your home, or remotely over a video call;
- Sessions 2-4 (mentoring): three sessions remotely, over video calls or text messaging;
- Sessions 5-6 (research): two sessions of remote research or demonstrator tool development, with the outputs e-mailed to you;
- Sessions 7-9 (tutorials): three sessions in-person at your home, or remotely over video calls;
- Session 10 (consultancy): to talk through the progress and advise on steps ahead.
Please note:
- Some sessions, such as training to cook or capture a life story, is best done in-person;
- In-person sessions are currently limited to East and West Sussex, and include a non-refundable travel fee.
