Story
Let us help you this festive season by wrapping your presents to a raise money for Living Paintings.
Living Paintings brings art, literature and educational topics to life for blind and visually impaired people across the UK. Their "Touch to See" books include raised, tactile images which have been hand-painted by volunteers, along with audio recordings voiced by professional actors and braille versions of the story. The books are made available to their 15,000 library members for free via the post. Additionally they run a network of 330+ Touch to See book clubs across the UK. These are particularly aimed at reducing the isolation and loneliness experienced by many elderly people who are visually impaired.
