Who are we and what do we do?
The Accessible Friends Network is a user-led U K voluntary group who use email, the internet, voice conferencing & other resources to improve the quality of life for blind & V I people & their partners, by networking. We provide support, raise funds and organise activities online, and people with v i access technology skills are particularly welcome to meet or join us. We are now a UK Registered Charity No. 1108043.
Members come from all across the United Kingdom & over 90% of the membership including the committee and volunteers are persons who are registered blind, many have second disabilities as well. According to UK National figures over 70% of registered blind people are unemployed, and need to use expensive screen reader software such as JAWS Windoweyes or HAL, in order to access the internet. Yet the internet can bring huge benefits, including to people who are housebound or elderly.
TAFN offers a lot of live support via voice chat over the computer, and most if not all meetings, as well as quizzes & fun events, are held via internet voice chat. Matters arising are often addressed via our email list, and we've got a dedicated technical support list as well as our general one.
