Covid-19

This message goes out to our audio describers all over Scotland, and of course to our valued vision-impaired patrons (VIPs).
The Covid-19 pandemic has left the theatres, opera houses and museums closed, leaving a gap in our lives which was once filled by the magic of audio described live performance.
Nobody can say for certain when the venues will re-open, but we will keep you informed of the dates of any rescheduled performances when they do.
In the meantime, we encourage all of our members and VIPs to follow the advice of both the UK and Scottish governments with regards to self-isolating and social-distancing.
We also encourage our audio describers to read the government advice with regards to protections and support for self-employed and contractual working. More information is available here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-a-grant-through-the-coronavirus-covid-19-self-employment-income-support-scheme
If you need any further support please contact us through the email address on this website and we will do our best to address any concerns you might have.
To fill the entertainment gap, don’t forget that audio description is available on TV channels, DVDs and other accessible entertainment platforms.
We appreciate your understanding in these unprecedented circumstances. Please look after yourselves and your loved-ones and we look forward to seeing you all when things are back to normal.
