We regularly give interviews and provide advice to newspapers, magazines, radio stations and television companies. We are also able to direct journalists/producers etc to many of our colour blind volunteers who are able to describe in detail what it is like to be colour blind in everyday situations. Look/listen out to hear or see us commenting in the media but in the meantime the following selection of articles might be of interest.
