As we all celebrate 200 years since Louis Braille invented his six-dot tactile reading and writing system for blind and partially sighted people through the RNIB Braille 200 year long celebrations raising the awareness of braille to visually impaired and sighted people here on RNIB Connect Radio we are chatting with people who are braille users to find out what braille means to them and how braille has maybe helped them throughout their life.

RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with the Right Honourable Lord Blunkett who has been using braille since a very early age to find out how it has helped him throughout his life and of course during his political career too.
