In 2024, UCAN were thrilled to receive a grant from The National Lottery Heritage Fund for an exciting project - Then and Now: Exploring the Lives of Blind People in Wales.
This was an inter-generational project exploring the history of blind and partially sighted people, as well as the people and organisations who have been instrumental in improving the lives of blind people in Wales from the early 1800's to the present day.
The aim was to build a collection of recorded stories, plays, discussions and interviews documenting people's oral history and historical stories.
We present these to you here in a series of podcasts.
We do hope you enjoy!
We are very grateful to The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and to players of the National Lottery, for making this project possible.

UCAN has had the pleasure and honour of working with Simon Kamau recently, who has just completed his Bronze Arts Award with us.
Simon's story is difficult but truly inspiring - he is a talented rapper who has in recent years suffered from significant hearing loss and sight loss, as well as other health problems. Nevertheless his drive and determination are impressive, and he continues to create inspirational music, using his voice to mainstream and raise awareness for people with disabilities.
He's very good at what he does and an engaging speaker! Check out some of his music and a chat with Alex of UCAN in this special episode.
UCAN member Caroline Williams has written a book about her life long partnership with Fred - the pet name she gave to her Type 1 diabetes, diagnosed as a child - and how she learned to keep him from taking control.
Today we present a short excerpt from that book, in spoken word. We do hope you enjoy.
In this episode we celebrate one of UCAN's longest running workshops - the wonderful heartwarming and chaotic world of Maggie's Club. Huge thanks to Children in Need for enabling it to happen...
