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.”

Why voting in secret remains impossible
It’s more than 150 years since the establishment of the right to vote in secret. But this right is still not afforded to many blind and partially sighted people.
See the person, not the sight loss campaign
We want people to see sight loss differently, so through RNIB’s biggest-ever advertising campaign, we are showing people how their actions can support us.
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.
Access to Work delays
The UK Government’s ongoing Pathways to Work green paper consults on the future of Access to Work. We are joining with sight loss partners to set out how the scheme needs to be fixed to work for blind and partially sighted people.
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.

UK Government concessions not enough: Help maintain pressure on MPs to vote against damaging benefit cuts
Thanks to your persistent campaigning, the UK Government is offering major concessions to its planned cuts to health and disability benefits. But the concessions don’t go far enough. We need your support in maintaining pressure on MPs to vote against the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment bill on Tuesday 1 July. No one with sight loss, now or in the future, should be pushed into poverty by the cuts or lose out on essential support to live independently.
Time to act: Ask your MP to vote against the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment bill
On 18 June, we saw the detail of how the UK Government intends to make changes to Universal Credit (UC) and Personal Independence Payments (PIP). We’re gravely concerned these sweeping cuts to health and disability benefits could significantly affect many blind and partially sighted people. MPs are set to vote on these plans within the next two to three weeks, and we’re calling on supporters to join us in opposing the cuts.
