Offenders completing community service have converted a range of children’s books into Braille.
Prisoners in Northern Ireland jails have worked on similar projects through long-established programmes in custody.
The Probation Board has teamed up with the Prison Arts Foundation to offer those on community service the opportunity to work at its Braille unit in Belfast city centre .
Hazel Flannigan is a blind volunteer who helps with the project at the unit.
She said: “Books are so important in providing information and facts but also enabling people to escape and go on a journey of adventure.”
