Meet Charles Nicol, he’s been working at Virgin Money for almost 35 years. Charles is fully blind. Charles is our Colleague Network Accessibility Champion and member of the Enable Network team, which gives a voice to colleagues and customers impacted by disability, mental or physical illness, caring responsibilities and neurodivergence. Through his own lived experience, he hopes to make a lasting impact on others, ensuring the customer experience is fit for digital accessibility. Disability Pride Month is an opportunity to start positive conversations and champion fairness, equity, equality, inclusion, and diversity. There’s so much to celebrate in the successes, accomplishments, and resilience of individuals and groups in the community. We’ll be sharing more from our Enable Network throughout July.

Thank you for sharing, Charles.
We’re very fortunate to have you with us in the Virgin Family, Charles. Thank you for pushing Virgin Money’s accessibility work forward. It is deeply important.
I just realized that A.I. could eventually also take service dog's jobs away. Just like the movie "Robot & Frank", imagine the impact A.I. can have (will have!) on accessibility.
Incredible!
FOA off Richard Branson. Why does your claim to have the software ( 6.1 ) keep appearing on FB ? As a born and bred Englishman to make great wealth keep appearing. Despite having tried a number of times to join your platform to get rich quickly. Despite having advanced highest grade cancer for the past 5/6 years I will not yield my diagnosed of my future prospects. I remain very active mentally and the mindset to repel death wherever that may come. I would appreciate some input from you. Kind Regards, Robert Wuerzer.
Fantastic to see Charlie continuing to champion the cause - good stuff!! Inspiring!!
would be very happy to bring my dog to work, this is a great work place initiative
È uma lição de vida para todos nós é fascinante você ver como a Virgin é inspiradora e sem preconceitos, sempre gerando equilíbrio ao seu redor.

1moCharles, my father worked for ANSETT airlines for 35 years and no one knew that he had only 5% vison. He even worked the computer system of the time (a very long time ago) He so enjoyed his role with the airline that he never told anyone just how blind he was. He stayed for 35 long years. He would have lost his job for sure if anyone knew. So glad that times have changed . ❤️👍
