Last weekend we had our annual team Away Weekend to reflect on progress and plan ahead for the future. At OxFizz we’re passionate about supporting small, local charities who do great work on minimal budgets. The team were delighted to be welcomed by SpecialEffect, a very special charity based in Charlbury in West Oxfordshire, who gave us a talk on their work.

SpecialEffect are technological wizards who enable people with limited mobility to access computers and computer games to help them to communicate and play. Amongst other things, SpecialEffect uses the latest eye software to enable people who otherwise can’t to access technology. Jing from OxFizz tried this out on a racing car game and mastered it impressively. It’s easy to see how powerful the work of SpecialEffect is, helping people to experience and enjoy the things we take for granted.

To see an example of how SpecialEffect works, see the video below.

We’d like to say a big thank you to Mick, Nick and Bill at SpecialEffect for introducing us to their work. They are trying to find people happy to spread the SpecialEffect message on Facebook and Twitter, and if you’re able to help do get in touch with them via their website.
