We're delighted to mark National Braille week by having a reflective chat with Matthew Horspool.
Matthew’s career started in a school for the blind, where he worked as a Braille transcriber and teacher of technical Braille codes. He has been formally involved with the Braillists Foundation since it was registered as a charity in 2020 and took up the post of General Manager in 2021. He is also Braille Subject Lead for the UK Association for Accessible Formats and has recently been appointed as Code Maintenance Officer with the International Council on English Braille. In his spare time, he sings in the choir at Coventry Cathedral, where Braille is invaluable to his success.
