Thrilled to be reaching more families with our free, sight-loss-friendly audio devices, thanks to our partnership with @VICTAUK. It's great to be able to work together to ensure our My Little Morphee sleep aids and Voxblock audio book players get to those who need them most.

A radio might seem like a small thing, but the devices we give can mean so much... Independence, freedom to pursue hobbies and passions, companionship and connection with the world. 📻💜

Ahhh... we made it too easy! You're both right. It's a Clarke & Smith CS1 1318 radio from the '90s. We think c. 1994!
