In Touch

It Could Be You; All Things Dotty


Listen Later

How do you deal with a life changing disability? Penny Melville-Brown was a naval officer when she started to lose her sight. Now, decades later, she has used her experience as well as that of other disabled people to write her new book "It Could Be You". Penny joins us to explain, (among other things) what prompted her to write it, who might benefit from reading it and what its key messages are.

Also joining us is Brandon Hulcoop, a blind entrepreneur from Devon. Brandon tells us how his business "All Things Dotty" is helping visually impaired people to "see the world with their fingers" and how his work has been royally recognised!

Presenter: Peter White

Producer: Fern Lulham
Production Coordinator: Liz Poole

The background is a bright mid-blue with two rectangles angled diagonally to

the right. Both are behind Peter, one of a darker blue and the other is a lighter blue.’
