VocalEyes
VocalEyes is an arts organisation which believes that blind and visually impaired people within the UK’s diverse communities have a right to rich cultural and creative lives. We support and encourage arts and heritage organisations to ensure that blind people can experience and enjoy arts, heritage and creativity. We develop and promote audio descriptive and trans-sensory approaches, developed for, by and with blind people, that stimulate inventiveness, imagination and creativity, and benefit everyone.
We seek social change, where blind people are equal participants as visitors, audience, workforce, leadership and governance, and anti-ableism is embedded in every aspect of the sector.

As part of VocalEyes’s Heritage Access 2022 project, 61 digital volunteers were recruited from across the UK to assess the websites of over 3,000 museum and heritage sites, checking both accessibility of the site and the access information each organisation provides to support and enable visits to their venue by D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people. The project actively recruited volunteers with personal experience of access barriers.
