As an RNIB Group volunteer we value your contribution to improving the lives of blind and partially sighted people. In return we are committed to paying your out of pocket expenses.
Our process of claiming is different for each of the associate charities, but you will find everything you need to know here. Our guidelines document tells you how much you are entitled to claim. This applies to RNIB, Action, National Talking Newspaper and Magazines and CVV volunteers.
If you have any questions, please contact your volunteer manager in the first instance.
If your query is unresolved contact RNIB Group Volunteering Team on 0845 603 0575 / 01733 37 54 50 or
