Fundraising

Do your own thing

Summary: Support for people wanting to organise their own fundraising event.

If you would like to raise money for RNIB, but want to do something other than run a marathon or take a parachute jump, why not do your own thing?

Collect donations for RNIB

Organising a fundraising event in your community can be a fun and social way of helping people whose lives have been devastated by sight loss. Community fundraisers are an important source of income for RNIB. The money raised is spent providing our services to local communities, such as RNIB Talking Books.

Volunteering for fundraising

There are over 4,000 dedicated volunteers who are vital to RNIB’s work. They help us through a wide range of activities, from collecting Sooty Boxes to providing crucial support to people in their homes.

Jill's story - Jill lost her sight 12 years ago at the age of 19. “The experience left me feeling isolated. I often felt like my life was pointless." Now, as a presenter on Insight Radio, she uses her experiences to help others. “My prayer is that what we do helps those who are going through sight loss. Even the tiniest piece of information can make a huge difference. If my show can help do that, then my journey has not been in vain.” Jill's full story
