Helping Those With Hearing Or Visual Impairments

Dean Rhodes Brandon, who is deaf, set up yourlocalcinema.com to help the 5 million people in the UK with hearing or visual impairments who enjoy going to the cinema.

 

The website provides information about cinemas that have subtitled and audio described (narrated) shows, and campaigns for the number of cinemas to provide this facility to be increased. Dean works with the main disability organisations, technology companies and the UK film and cinema industries tirelessly to ensure accessible cinema is high on the agenda.
