"I found the reception absolutely marvellous - I didn't expect to hear or see so much. I learned a lot and feel quite inspired."
Diana Cornford - Bristol reception
"I attended a supporter reception on the Isle of Wight in May last year and really enjoyed the day - great speakers, nice venue and it was really good to be able to see and touch the useful products they had on show."
Tina Snow - Isle of Wight reception
"Our lives have been transformed by attending a supporter reception."
Mrs Gallagher - Manchester reception
"I came along to a RNIB supporter reception to say thank you for the work they do and also to find out how I can do some fundraising to help them. It's all been very informative and I'm glad to say that by the end of today I will be able to walk away with so many ideas and opportunities I can put to good use."
Lee Rider - Cheshunt reception
"I was registered partially sighted recently and it's a different world I've just entered. Everything is new and learning today about how all the different aspects of RNIB's work will help me along the way was great. I would encourage others to come to a supporter reception, it's for free and you will come away amazed."
Richard Eastleigh - Torquay reception
"I found the reception very informative - there were a lot of things talked about that I didn't know anything about before. I came along with my friend and we both learned a lot. Everybody was interesting and I enjoyed the whole thing, including the lunch of course…"
Maureen Young - Torquay reception
"I think today was very interesting. I hadn't previously realised all the work that RNIB does and all the money it costs. All the things you do are very, very good and I am probably a bigger supporter now, after coming, than I was before. It's the way you push for different things..… new treatments…. going to see opticians earlier than people would do… you know it's not only the books and products but you are pushing so that people get better treatment more quickly. Today was very very informative…. it definitely was well worth coming."
Pam Cunningham - Cheshunt reception
"I have enjoyed today very much. I liked everything and I've learned a lot from it, especially about Talking Books. I've always been interested in the books and am really pleased to think that the money I contribute goes towards them. I think to lose your sight is a tragic thing. I'd always help anyone but, to lose your sight….I think that's terrible."
Mrs Aida Barnett - Cheshunt reception
