Campaign

RNIB is an organisation of blind and partially sighted people, passionately committed to ending the isolation of sight loss. Campaigning is central to this. We seek radical change in policy and provision to deliver independence, inclusion and an end to the scandal of unnecessary sight loss.

We campaign on the issues that matter to our members and campaign supporters, working at local, national and international levels.

Work with us - together we can make a difference!

Lost and Found

RNIB's new campaign calls for improved support for people losing their sight. Our Lost and Found report reveals the realities of losing sight and the isolation and frustration that often follows. There is life after sight loss, but people need access to decent, joined-up services.
