Welcome to Compass Braille

Transcribers and Producers of Braille Bibles in 43 languages -
to 47 countries - despatched to 120 destinations worldwide

Based in the UK, Compass Braille is a registered charity that transcribes and produces Braille Bibles and Christian books in numerous languages primarily for overseas use. Our Braille is used and distributed by partner groups who work among people with visual disabilities in churches, schools, training programmes and community healthcare projects.

Braille is an important commodity and for many the ownership of one or two Braille volumes is the most valuable thing they possess. Braille readers get as much enjoyment from reading as their sighted peers, the difference is that Braille readers, especially in developing countries, do not have a readily available supply of reading materials at their disposal.

Compass Braille produce in the region of 8,000 Braille Bible volumes each year but, due to a lack of funding, this only accounts for half of the needs known to us.

We rely heavily on donations in order to continue in our quest to make Braille accessible to as many people with visual disabilities as possible. Please help us to lessen the inequality that Braille readers experience by donating now.

For the latest news please take a look at the News page where you will find updates, our newsletter 'Newscast' and a link to the 'Newscast' PDF; our Projects page also gives updates on the progress of new initiatives and updates on existing projects.
