NCTD's Vision and Mission

NCTD’s Vision

To create a world in which visual impairment is not a barrier to the enjoyment of graphical information currently only available to the sighted world.

NCTD’s Mission

  • To help blind and partially sighted people to lead more independent lives
  • To add to their participation in, and enjoyment of, education, work and leisure activities
  • To ensure that blind and partially sighted people, and their needs, are the focus of our work
  • To deliver these benefits by providing the information they lack in the form of tactile graphics and supporting services, of the highest quality
  • To advance the field of tactile graphics through collaborations, information gathering and sharing, research and development


In order to continue to meet our mission we rely on a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, with essential support from a range of organisations and individuals. If you are in a position to assist us in any way please contact us.
