Alex, 26, registered blind.
"Blind people haven't really 'come through' in my area, which is something that I really wish to change. By 'coming through' I mean making decision makers aware of blind and partially sighted people. It can difficult when the numbers are low and you're all spread out".
"My personal feeling is that now we are in an economic recession, funds are being cut...people are holding onto the funds that they have because they have to make sure they have food for themselves and their children".
"It's frustrating because if you were to compare Hertfordshire to London for example, something like a taxi card scheme would just be of amazing value to blind and partially sighted people. There's one bus a day that goes past my house so if I wanted to get to a job interview the following day at 9am I would have to catch a bus at 1pm the previous day!"
