Shopping doesn't come without potential challenges if you're blind or partially sighted: locating the items you want and, depending on your level of sight, being able to get up close enough to understand if what you鈥檝e found is really what you were after. Well, John Lewis is the latest brand trying to help, developping a pilot guided shopping scheme within their flagship store in London. In Touch sent along Emma and Dave Williams to try it out and John Lewis' Head of the Oxford Street branch tells us about any potential plans for a wider roll-out of the scheme.

The Commonwealth Games will be taking place in Glasgow in July. The Games run every four years and welcome athletes from across the Commonwealth of Nations. This year, visually impaired sisters Astrid and Ursula Carroll will be competing in swimming, but for different teams (Astrid for Team Scotland and Ursula for Team England). How did this happen? The pair explain more and discuss their training, and what they are looking forward to about the Commonwealth Games.

Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image, wearing a dark green jumper. Above Peter's head is the 麻豆社 logo (three individual white squares house each of the three letters). Bottom centre and overlaying the image are the words "In Touch"; and the Radio 4 logo (the word Radio in a bold white font, with the number 4 inside a white circle). The background is a bright mid-blue with two rectangles angled diagonally to the right. Both are behind Peter, one of a darker blue and the other is a lighter blue.
