Joining from Overseas

Calibre Audio is based in the UK and is free to join for anyone print disabled. This includes people who either cannot see, read, manipulate or comprehend the text. The reasons for print disability vary but include:

• A learning disability, such as dyslexia
• A brain injury or cognitive impairment such as head trauma or stroke
• A vision impairment or blindness
• A physical dexterity problem such as multiple sclerosis (MS), Motor Neurone Disease (MND), Parkinson's disease, arthritis, paralysis or terminal illness
• Early dementia

Overseas members need to live in either the EU or any of the countries where the Marrakesh Treaty has come into force (see below).
