About us

Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) is the leading charity offering information, support and advice to almost two million people with sight loss.

If you or a loved one has a sight problem, we can help. We have practical ways to help you live with sight loss. We've got advice to help you travel, shop and manage your money and finances independently. We've also got advice on technology for blind and partially sighted people.

RNIB is an organisation of blind and partially sighted people, passionately committed to ending the isolation of sight loss. We campaign and carry out research on the issues that matter to you.

Get involved and help us make a difference. Right now we can only reach one in three people who need our help most. By making a single donation or a regular donation, you can help us reach more.

As a membership organisation we work together with our members to shape the future for people with sight loss.

As a Royal Charity, RNIB is governed by Royal Charter and Bye-Laws.

This website is a great way to get up-to-date information and advice. But if you want a booklet about us, 'Your guide to what we do' is available from our online shop.

Attend a supporter reception to learn more about our vital work and discover opportunities to get more involved.

If you need advice or support, or if you have general question, you're welcome to contact us.
