You are invited to come and join us at one of the supporter receptions we hold across the UK.
These special events give us the chance to tell you more about our vital work, to thank you for your support and to demonstrate how, together, we are making a real difference to the lives of blind and partially sighted people.
What happens at a supporter reception
At a reception you will find out how you could become more involved with our work. You will learn about the latest developments in our services and hear directly from key staff about the inspiring and innovative projects happening in your area. The services you'll hear about at receptions will vary from location to location but may include RNIB National Library Service (including Talking Books), audio description, products for everyday living and campaigning.

Find out what our supporters have to say
Many people find receptions really useful and leave with a wealth of knowledge - "I would encourage others to come to a supporter reception, it's for free and you will come away amazed." Read about what other supporters gained from the day.
The wonderful work described at receptions and the wider work that RNIB does is hugely dependent upon the generosity of people who choose to leave a gift to us in their Will.
