Support Talking Books

Some children will never see the Gruffalo. But you can bring him to life in their imagination.

For most children reading is a magical experience. Blind and partially sighted children, like Ruth, aren't so lucky - less than five per cent of books published each year make it into formats that they can read.

We offer support to people of all ages and RNIB Talking Books bring the joy of the written word to those who can't read normal books for themselves.

Please donate today - you could give the magic of Talking Books to blind and partially sighted children.
