Reading Software
Spring Market
People with visual impairments can now benefit from free screen reading software at all Wigan borough libraries. Leisure and culture provider WLCT has worked with Wigan Access Committee for the Disabled to introduce the use of the NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access) equipment, which allows computers to talk to visually impaired people and enlarges screen information. It can also be useful for people with dyslexia.
A Wrightington church is holding a spring market on Saturday, March 29, from 11am-1pm. All are welcome to the event at Tunley United Reformed Church, on Mossy Lea Road, which is set to feature crafts, a tombola, raffle, homemade cakes and pies, plants, bric-a-brac and a Guess the Name of Tunley’s Easter Chick Competition.
Joe Healen, of Wigan Access Committee for the Disabled, said: “The service will give access to the computer services at libraries to blind and visually impaired people who already have some computer ability.
