Wye Dean Wellbeing Is A Great Opportunity To Make A Difference

A number of things interest me.

Wye Dean Wellbeing

I have a genuine interest in alternative holistic wellbeing therapies and attitudes that question the status quo.

I am interested in helping Wye Dean Wellbeing become an organisation that can provide wellbeing services to our community here in the forest of dean.

My role here is as follows:

Project development
Strategy development
Marketing
Website accessibility
Community inclusion

Experience, career path and motivation

I have some 42 years work experience in varied areas:

My first born son George who is now 31 is severely sight impaired. He was born with congenital cataracts and operated at 10 days. This led to glaucoma and other problems.

My background quickly, I started work as a commercial and aerial photographer (30 plus years), started to publish books in 1989 and as the internet started to develop I got involved with a some web developers in the UK and US. Telling stories could now be done online, and still today I work with foundation6 to build websites.

As my son went through education I got involved at his college the Royal National College For The Blind, where I ran workshops around self employment and marketing. At this point I worked with some of his blind friends who wanted to have a voice online and we started to develop websites that they could manage.

This developed into starting to look at websites from a blind persons perspective whilst at the same time talking with the foundation 6 developers to clean the code.

Pre pandemic I was in conversation with a disability charity. In the end I secured funding and for 18 months we worked with a great team of blind individuals and we audited over 100,000 pages using an algorithm developed to data scrape. More importantly we manually tested using screen readers and magnification assistive tools some 200 plus websites. This led to working with local government organisations on website accessibility and then I created Accessible All Areas. https://aaaltd.co.uk/

Whilst it is important to work with the blind community and to give them a voice, equally we try and create employment opportunities and the testing does this.

Recently we have started this business. Access Ahead Media. https://accessaheadmedia.co.uk/

Same principle, working with blind people using their lived experiences to better inform organisations about their places and spaces.

My work here with Wye Dean Wellbeing is to support where I can and offer advice
