'I don't know how I could have coped with life without books now that I can no longer read the printed page.Your audio books have kept me sane.' The impact of our work is best described by our beneficiaries:. Our Young Calibre service for Under 16's often helps with learning and enables visually impaired or dyslexic young people to keep up with their peer group. Calibre's audio books help to fill many empty hours and our service is described by many as their 'lifeline'. People with visual impairment are often lonely and isolated. Our main activities are selecting, buying and recording audio books, duplicating them on to cassettes, CDs and memory sticks and distributing to our members. Our subscription-free, nationwide library service of audio books by post enables print-impaired people to enjoy all the pleasure and benefits other people gain from reading.

Calibre aims to improve the quality of life for people who are visually-impaired, dyslexic or have another disability which prevents them from reading printed books.
