Lions Visual Independence Foundation is proud to formally recognise the generous support given by the following:

All generous Australians

There are many who remain unnamed who support this project with heart mind and soul. For that and the generous contributions, we at Visual Independence on behalf of the blind thank you!

GS1 Australia

Without, the generous assistance with providing the Australian bar code database free of charge, we would not have been able to develop the technology to its present state. GS1 Australia continues to provide and enhance bar code data. A huge thank you from all the future users of this talking bar code scanner. You have helped make a dream true reality!

Coles

We thank Coles as a sponsor of the Coles ID Mate. Through the generosity of Coles, Visual Independence has allocated 92 units to those in greatest need who can afford it least. A huge thank you to Coles for this wonderful support.
