RNIB Charity Raffle
We are delighted to announce that the Summer raffle is now open.
Your support is needed more than ever to help support blind and partially sighted people during the coronavirus pandemic. The income from the tickets you buy or sell in our raffle will be used to fund the vital direct services that RNIB provides such as our Helpline or Reading services, which enable people to stay connected and reduce isolation and loneliness.
By buying raffle tickets, not only are you helping support people with sight loss, you could also be in with the chance of winning our top prize of £10,000, or one of our other super prizes.

Why take part?
The tickets you buy or sell in our Summer Raffle will be used by our new subsidiary, RNIB Direct Services Lottery Limited to fund the vital direct services that RNIB provides for blind or partially sighted people like Red, who was given the support he needed when losing his sight.
Things started looking up for Red after he called the RNIB Sight Loss Advice Line and got the support he needed. He used the RNIB library and started to enjoy Talking Books and reading again. He enjoyed using the services so much that he became a Connect Radio volunteer, and was later offered the opportunity to host an audiobook review programme. Today, he is the host of Connect Radio’s Read On show.
By playing our Summer Raffle, not only are you helping support people with sight loss, you could also be in with the chance of winning our top prize of £10,000, or one of our other super prizes.
