RNIB Helpline

Calls to our Helpline cost no more than a standard rate call to 01 or 02 numbers and count towards any inclusive minutes in the same way as 01 and 02 calls. The price of calls varies between different service providers, including between landline and mobile companies. Please note that we record all our calls for training and quality purposes. All calls are treated in confidence.

You can also email [email protected] or ask us a question using our contact form.

If you would like to hear helpful information on sight loss when our Helpline is closed, try the RNIB Info Line.
