For GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day) 2025 (Thursday 15 May 2025) we are going to focus on access to heritage for blind and partially sighted people as RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined by Rachael Osmotherley, Visitor Journey Development Manager for Access, Experiences and Partnerships at the national Trust to highlight the great accessAble Guides for over 1,000 national Trust locations. 

Rachael began by telling Toby about how the project came about, an overview of what sort of access information around the Trust’s locations and properties feature in the AccessAble Guides and especially information for blind and partially sighted visitors.

The national Trust AccessAble Guides can be found by either visiting the accessAble website - https://www.accessable.co.uk

Or by visiting the access for Everyone pages of the national Trust website - https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/who-we-are/about-us/access-for-everyone
