We’re an accessibility-focused CIC led by the lived experience of sight loss. Our mission is to break down barriers and create a more inclusive world by offering expert digital accessibility reviews and audits, resources, and training. We champion practical change, guided by insight, empathy, and real-world understanding.
Vision for Access CIC was born from lived experience.
I’m Mark, the founder of Vision for Access CIC, and I’m registered as partially sighted. For many years, I’ve navigated a world that often overlooks individuals like me, whether inaccessible websites, buildings that are difficult to navigate, or opportunities that always seem just beyond my reach.
What began as frustration evolved into a sense of purpose. I started to share my experiences, assisting organisations in understanding the concrete steps they can implement to become more inclusive, compliant, and truly inviting. The feedback revealed a significant demand for genuine, real-world accessibility guidance based on personal experience.
And so, Vision for Access CIC was born – a social enterprise that puts accessibility into action.
Our approach is open, relatable, and friendly, our intention is not to criticise; rather; we seek to partner, inform, and promote a more inclusive society.
We provide:
Our goal is to eliminate obstacles and barriers and foster inclusive digital spaces by assisting organisations in enhancing accessibility for individuals with sight loss. Drawing on personal experiences and a thorough understanding of practical challenges, we offer actionable guidance, training, and insights to help organisations, public services, and charities incorporate accessibility into all their activities. We believe accessibility is an essential right, not just an additional feature.
Everyone should have equal access to digital environments, services, opportunities, and support.
We work with individuals with firsthand experience of sight loss to guide, shape, and promote significant, long-term change.
We provide organisations with the resources, knowledge, and confidence to integrate accessibility into everything they do.
We operate with honesty and transparency, guided by our values and commitment to doing what is right, not just convenient.
We partner with businesses, public services, and communities to develop practical, respectful, and long-term solutions.
