In Touch

Available for over a year

Helen Pownall contacted In Touch with the aim of warning other visually impaired people to keep an eye on their energy accounts. This was prompted when her visually impaired mother in law accumulated a credit of nearly five thousand pounds and she was no longer was receiving her bills in large print. Helen Pownall provides more information and we get advice from energy price comparison experts The Energy Shop. The Civil Aviation Authority is reviewing their policies on accessible air travel; this encompasses guide and assistance dogs. We hear from the European Guide Dog Federation on what they'd like to see happen as a result and to the CAA, on what exactly they are looking at.
