Our small charity has been making audio accessible for people with sight loss over 95 years.
A lot's changed since we issued our first braille dial radios in the 1920s. But, can you guess in which decade we were giving out this high-contrast radio?
All will be revealed soon! 📻

ALT A photo of a black radio with high contrast yellow controls. The plastic radio has a handle at the top in the centre and a speaker at the front. There are two yellow dials on top. On the right are radio controls in yellow and an antenna. The device has a cassette tape recorder/player on the left, with yellow buttons under it. Text on the image says 'Guess the decade?'
