"There are around two million people in the UK with sight problems and RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People) is the leading charity offering practical support and information to anyone with a sight problem. Our pioneering work helps - not just with braille, Talking Books and computer training but with imaginative and practical solutions to everyday challenges."

We get many submissions every day and our priority is to link to sites which are accessible to access technology users (see our Web Access Centre for advice on designing accessible websites). It's not necessary to resubmit your request and because we receive many requests a day it's not possible to notify everyone individually. We reserve the right to choose which sites we include and will not enter into any correspondence about our decision process.
