Calibre audio
Calibre Audio is a UK charity that supports anyone who struggles to access print. They provide an audiobook service to people who may have a visual impairment, dyslexia or a physical condition that means they have difficulty holding a physical book.
Everyone has the legal right to equal access to information, yet only 7% of print books are converted to audio, the format needed for many disabled people. For young people, this has serious implications for their ability to learn and develop, and for the elderly, socially isolated, or disadvantaged, coming to terms with the loss of their sight, health and mobility, losing a lifelong love of the written word can be a real blow.
Since 1974, Calibre Audio has brought the joy of audiobooks to anyone struggling to access print, so they can immerse themselves in wonderful stories, memorable biographies or travel the world in their mind.
Calibre believes in social inclusion and the wider benefits that reading brings, combating social isolation, increasing confidence and independence.
