🧵 #MotivationMonday Last month, Vision Ability took part in London Data Week, delivering a workshop at an AI Fluency Seminar with @TesseractAcade1 Academy, headed by Dr Stylianos Kampakis. But for us, this was about more than AI. 👇 – at Poplar, London

💡 Our #MotivationMonday thought: Don’t wait for spaces to become inclusive. Be part of the conversations that shape them. That’s exactly what we’ll continue doing at Vision Ability. #InclusiveAI #Accessibility #DisabilityInclusion – at Poplar, London

Domestic abuse can look different for blind & partially sighted survivors. It can include hiding medication, restricting mobility aids, or blocking access to support. At Vision Ability, we’re helping services become accessible so no victim is left behind. #VAWG #Accessibility – at Poplar, London

It was such a pleasure to meet local hero Owais, whose story is a powerful reminder that our struggles can become a source of strength and support for others.   Owais runs @Vision_Ability_ a charity led by visually impaired people for visually impaired people. Through their incredible work, they support those living with sight loss by building community, raising awareness about disabilities, and providing practical help, like adaptive technology and employment support.   People like Owais truly make the world a brighter place.    I am so grateful for all the work he does to help those in Ilford South and beyond.    Thank you, Owais!   If you need any support from Vision Ability, feel free to check out their website here: visionability.org.uk

Absolutely! This vision feature is a game-changer. Here are a few of the million uses: - Locating lost keys, remotes, or pets in the house. - Assisting visually impaired folks with navigation or reading labels. - Identifying plants, bugs, or allergens outdoors. - Checking if food is spoiled or spotting recipe ingredients. - Guiding DIY repairs by describing tools or issues. The list goes on—endless possibilities for everyday help! What’s your favorite?
