The British Wireless for the Blind Fund (BWBF) was established in 1928 to help ease the loneliness of blindness with specially adapted audio equipment, provided free for life to UK-registered blind and partially sighted people, over the age of eight, who are in need.

Blind or partially sight registration may qualify you for a specially adapted radio, or radio/cassette/ CD player. OAB is the local agent for the British Wireless for the Blind Fund. We manage equipment for anyone who is registered blind or partially sighted. The range includes Roberts radio with presets, which cannot be changed accidentally. The radio / cassette player / CD player have bright yellow buttons, which are easy to handle. To benefit those with residual sight, Roberts Duet DAB model casing is in contrasting charcoal and yellow for maximum visibility, with raised, brightly coloured and illuminated controls and a bright yellow mains lead. The set also features Roberts’ pioneering Pause Plus technology which gives listeners the ability to pause and rewind their favourite radio shows at the push of a button.

For information on eligibility and the equipment available, please contact us. Even if you do not qualify for free equipment, all items can be brought from BWBF. Further information on the BWBF can be found on their website. Technical information on the models we supply can be found at www.robertsradio.co.uk
