As part of Get Online Week, we’re proud to share a powerful blog written by Rob, one of our passionate Digital Skills Officers at Vision Support.

In this piece, Rob reflects on his experience speaking at the National Eisteddfod in Wrexham — raising vital concerns about digital inclusion and accessibility for Welsh speakers with vision impairment.

Rob’s voice brings lived experience to an issue often overlooked: the urgent need for Welsh-language accessibility in assistive technology. From screen readers to digital services, inclusion means more than just being connected — it means having the tools to engage fully, independently, and in your language of choice.

Thanks to Helo Blod, this blog is also available in Welsh, ensuring more people can access and engage with this important message.
