RNIB Resource Centres Northern Ireland

Summary: Information about our three resource centres.


RNIB Northern Ireland has three resource centres, one in Belfast, one in Derry and one in the Isle of Mann. The centres offer a friendly environment in which you can find out about and purchase RNIB's wide range of equipment, from daily living products to the very latest in access technology and devices, with demonstrations and advice available upon request.

Our well-trained staff who work within the centres can also give you information on and guide you to any of RNIB's services. In Belfast's state of the art Connect Centre you can enjoy free unlimited use of the internet and Microsoft Office packages with either JAWS or Zoomtext software in our 6-PC Internet café.

All of our product catalogues are available in large print, audio and braille formats, in addition to a wide range of other relevant information on eye conditions, sight loss and services available. Any of our catalogues or leaflets can be posted to you free* upon request.

Your stories

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
