Perry Barr NNS

Perry Barr NNS This page is for the Perry Barr Constituency. We’re part of a city-wide network that identifies crucial services and health and well-being activities.

Perry Barr NNS (Neighbourhood Network Scheme) aims to ensure that local residents over 50 and 18-49 with longterm health needs to can access community based support for well-being & a better quality of life. Birmingham’s NNS (Neighbourhood Network Scheme) helps local residents over 50 years old, access community based services and activities that promote well-being and a better quality of life. Due to the success of the original scheme for older people, the NNS was extended in April 2022 to include younger adults aged 18 – 49 who have a long–term disability. We connect and support local groups and social work teams in the Perry Barr constituency wards of Handsworth, Handsworth Wood, Holyhead, Lozells, Kingstanding, Birchfield, Perry Barr and Oscott.

Today we're exploring Screen Readers! 😊

Screen Readers are a type of software designed to help people with Visual Impairments access computers, websites and smartphone devices. A screen reader reads out loud what is on the screen of your device allowing users to navigate and interact using keyboard shortcuts or gestures. ⌨️

Did you know that most phones come with screen reader software built in! 😮 IPhone's VoiceOver and Android's TalkBack are both free pre-installed screen reader software that can be accessed through your phone settings!

We all know how important our phones, computers and devices have become in all aspects of life, this is why accessible technology like Screen Readers aren't just important, they're essential! 💛

If you want to know more about the power of screen readers, check out the link below😁
