If you are working with people who face access barriers The Wayfinding Centre is here to support you. Our facility allows individuals to acquire essential travel and mobility skills, familiarise themselves with module layouts and infrastructure, ensuring they can confidently transfer these skills to more complex real-world conditions. We have replica environments of multiple transport journeys, empowering individuals with access needs, disabilities, or reduced mobility to explore freely and experience various travel scenarios in a safe, controlled learning space. This ultimately enables more of the 1.1 million people with a disability in Ireland to confidently and safely access the community in whatever way they choose.

Vision Ireland, the new name for NCBI and their #ClearOurPaths campaign, are urging everyone to keep our footpaths clear and safe for all. Join us in raising awareness. Together, we can make a difference.
Kevin Kelly, head of policy, partnerships and external affairs at Vision Ireland said: “Parked cars and dog waste are two of the biggest hazards people who are blind and vision impaired face on our footpaths. “The number of parking fines issued alone is astounding and gives an idea of the many thousands of obstacles people who are blind and vision impaired face when they’re out and about. Fines alone will not solve these problems. “We must all work together and do our part to clear our paths. If everyone takes more responsibility for their actions, we can work towards making our paths safer for all.” https://lnkd.in/eMPxCYjF
