About RNIB's See Differently Awards 2020
We sourced nominations from many great stories of individuals, businesses and organisations who rose to the challenge. Whether that’s by raising money, awareness or community spirit, there have been some amazing acts of kindness and support.
The nominees were brought to our attention either via the media, RNIB’s work or by reaching out to blind and partially sighted people to hear about their experiences.
