VA Briefing 149 – Making your performances accessible to people with hearing and sight loss

For many people, a meal out and a trip to see a voluntary arts performance is a night to remember. But what happens when you have hearing or sight loss and can’t follow what the performers are saying or doing? The whole experience could be very disappointing, or perhaps something to avoid completely. But all is not lost, because this briefing provides voluntary arts groups with some simple and cost-effective ways of bringing amateur performances back to life for the 12 million people in the UK experiencing hearing and sight loss.
