RNIB Connect Members can now join regional Facebook pages and our online community to blog, join discussions and find out about events taking place locally.

We also need you to welcome and support others with sight loss when they join as new members.
We are creating a UK wide virtual Muslim Men's Group, where blind and partially sighted Muslim men will have an opportunity to talk about navigating their sight loss, independent living skills, cultural attitudes towards disability and more!
We are looking for someone with great communication and listening skills together with relevant experience and understanding to facilitate this group. We'd also like you to have experience of using Microsoft Teams.
In this role, you’ll be creating an opportunity to feel part of a community, ask questions and share tips. If this sounds like you, we'd love you to join us.
This flexible opportunity puts you at the heart of supporting blind and partially sighted people in your area. You could help with:
* Assisting groups of blind and partially sighted people;
* Awareness-raising and campaigning on issues that affect those living with little or no sight;
* fundraising so we can continue to offer our amazing services and tackle social injustice.
Whether its cheering at a challenge event, helping at an information stand or store collection, welcoming guests at an event, or something else, you can choose to get involved based on your availability and interests.
In applying for / signing up for this role you agree to be contacted when we are seeking volunteers to help with an activity / tasks in relation to this role description. We will contact you via a communication method for which you have given consent.
Are you a good listener? Do you enjoy a good chat?
We need Telephone Befrienders to call isolated blind and partially sighted people once a week, giving them the opportunity to have a friendly chat with someone who is prepared to listen and be supportive. You will contribute to the conversation to ensure the participant feels comfortable and the conversation runs smoothly. This opportunity is available to people living in Wales as local knowledge is required.
Are you a good listener? Are you confident working with IT and using the internet? We need you to facilitate our weekly befriending telephone groups that offer blind and partially sighted people the opportunity to socialise with others. You will connect our groups together and contribute to groups to ensure that all participants feel comfortable and that group conversations run smoothly.
This is a telephone-based role that you can do from home. You will need access to a computer, an internet connection and good IT skills. We ask you to commit to facilitating 3 or more groups per week which will be at the same day and time each week. Groups run for an hour a week.
