Charity Chief Exec’s Weekly Update 16/10/2021

Each week we chat with RNIB’s CEO Matt Stringer to discuss the big news affecting the charity.

This week Matt talks about the fantastic news that Proctor and Gamble will be following Kellogg’s lead and introducing the NaviLens smart code technology on to their Pantene silky and glowing range of shampoos along with the news that blind YouTuber and presenter Lucy Edwards has also been announced as the brand Ambassador.

As it was National Braille week at the time of recording Matt talked about how important Braille is to many blind and partially sighted people, the role RNIB has played over the years in both the awareness raising and production of Braille along with all the Braille resources available from the RNIB.

Finally, Matt talked about the very successful launch of “See Sport Differently” and some of the future plans for the project and campaign over the next three years.
