Great to be at the @visionary_uk Leadership Conference today. Currently hearing from @Groundsy about brand and comms strategies. Managing comms output can often be tough for smaller charities with limited staff resources, developing a manageable strategy is vital! #VisLeaders

We love today's @Google Doodle! Celebrating Seiichi Miyake who developed tactile paving systems for people with VI.

The panels, known then as tenji blocks, were introduced in Okayama City on this day in 1967. #Accessibility
