SST provides a range of specialist equipment that isn’t available through the NHS and its products are tailored for each individuals needs, depending on degree of sight loss.

It even provide equipment that takes a picture of text and turns it into a narrated voice so suitable for people with no sight whatsoever.

Russell, who is himself registered blind, said: “Having SST renewing their business partnership arrangement for a further two years, where they donate a monthly standing order to support our work is a welcomed boost to our growing number businesses that are in partnership with us.

"We often provide part funding to clients across many disabilities to help the individual afford the technologies that aren’t provided by the state.
