Try before you buy

You can visit a Resource Centre to try our products, compare alternatives, get expert advice and make a purchase.

Before you visit, try using our guide to choosing products to give you an idea of what's available.

Find a Resource Centre near you

Our Resource Centres are run by Action for Blind People. Here's where you can find your nearest Resource Centre:

Action for Blind People also has three mobile information units that continually travel in and around the country. Each team provides backdrops for local societies to welcome new and established members to view some of the latest products and information available.

Other places to buy

As well as our Resource Centres, there are many organisations and local societies where you can try and buy RNIB products, based all over the UK, who sell our products. A great way to buy locally as well as learn about the many other services these societies can offer.
