Campaign with us
Help build a world without barriers for blind and partially sighted people.

The drive from Government to support more disabled people to enter and stay in work simply can’t be delivered if there are cuts to the support blind and partially sighted people receive through the scheme.

Have your say on the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment
The UK Government is set to undertake a review of the PIP assessment process, to be led by the Minister for Social Security and Disability, Sir Stephen Timms. RNIB wants to hear your experiences and ideas for how the PIP assessment could be improved, to help us campaign for a fairer system as part of the review.
Inclusive Journeys
Being able to get around safely is important for everyone, but for people with sight loss some things can make it harder to do this. RNIB campaigns to make our streets and public transport safe and accessible to all.
Out of Sight
Thousands of people with sight loss remain Out of Sight. Life changes after sight loss, sometimes overnight, often in dramatic ways. Done well, vision rehabilitation equips people with new ways to stay independent: to get out and about, adapt their lives.
My info my way
Blind and partially sighted people have a legal right to receive accessible health and social care information. Find out more about our campaign, and how to request information in a format you can read.
Cost of Living
Society isn’t designed with blind and partially sighted people in mind and the cost of living crisis has made this situation worse. RNIB is here to help you.
Alt text campaign
Every year, the global advertising industry puts millions of images into the world. Images that over 2.2 billion people with sight loss might never see. Instead, many blind and partially sighted people rely on a text alternative or ‘alt text’ – a written descriptions of an image.”
