Would you like to wear dotty (polka dot) clothing or objects for a day to celebrate the amazing contribution Louis Braille made to blind people's lives? A small donation for the privilege will support RNIB's work with people affected by sight loss.
It's a great excuse to dress up and impress your colleagues!
