Wanted: Vegan communicator guide in Birmingham Area.

[dreama]

I am on the look out for a communicator guide. I would really prefere my communicator guide to be vegan as part of the reason for needing one is with shopping and I want someone who is Vegan so I don't have to worry about things like them buying me things with animal ingredients or take me into CancerResearch UK for clothes. There are several vegans in the birmingham area. I was wondering if any could help with this. My communicator guide will get paid. I'm just hoping to find one that is also vegan.

Why is nobody answering?

Might it be worth contacting the Vegan Society to see if they know of anyone, Dreama?

[emmapresley]

aye..would imagine merely posting on Vf would bring limited options.
good luck though :)

Dreama I would help you if I wasn't so far from Birmingham. I hope you find someone soon.

[alisont]

Yes hope you find someone soon who is local Dreama - Im too far away and would not be able to fit anything in with my work Im afraid.

I would agree with Harpy about contacting the vegan society, they might know of someone?

I'm not entirely sure what a 'communicator guide' means?

Have you tried asking BVV (Birmingham Vegetarians and Vegans)?

[harpy]

Treaclemine, there's an explanation here:

Thanks for your responses. I've already contacted BVV. I will also contact the vegan society and see what they have to say.

A communicator guide is someone who helps interprete things for deafblind people. I've been deafblind for 18 years now but I've been having to manage without a communicator guide for several years. As someone with Limited vision I've managed but there are things I can no longer do such as clothes shopping and checking labels to check that things are vegan that I did in the past but can't do now. I've got a very powerful CCTV at my dad's place. In the past I could read labels if I put it on maximum strengh but can't do that any more.
