Nick is a long standing Patron for BWBF and advocate for the power of radio for people living with sight loss.
Radio has always been precious to me – for information, for entertainment and often just for company. I often gravitate towards the wireless rather than the television. To those without the benefit of sight, radio is not just a companion but a window to the world. That’s why, almost a century after it was founded, the BWBF is as important and wonderful as ever.
