Make Britain’s Cash Machines More Accessible To The Visually Impaired!

February 16, 2013

I have just signed this petition. Please take a minute to do the same. It’s a very good cause.

 

Please help make Britain’s cash machines accessible to almost half a million blind and partially sighted citizens! Most UK cash machines are currently a no go area for people who can’t see to read the screen.

Major banks in the UK have not enabled the “talking” facilities that have been offered by banks in the USA, Australia and India for years. RNIB launched the “Make Money Talk” campaign to rectify this situation.

Barclays recently became the first major UK bank to provide its blind and partially sighted customers with accessible talking ATMs. “It’s amazing and yet such an ordinary thing” was the verdict of many at the launch event in London.

But it’s now two years since campaigners started calling for action and it’s proving really tough to get some banks to commit. This is where you can help.

Show your support for blind and partially sighted people by telling each uncommitted bank that they need to enable talking facilities on their cash machines.

Thanks for your support!
