Charity Chief Exec’s Weekly Update 16/04/22

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

This week Matt started with more news about the Election Bill for blind and partially sighted people to have the right to vote independently and in secret, following on from the handing in this week of the #BlindVotersCount petition signed by over 7,000 people to Michael Gove, news about the RNIB winning a couple of awards this week, some employment and volunteering news as well as an update on how the RNIB and other sight loss organisations are supporting blind and partially sighted people caught up in the war in Ukraine.

  

If you have any questions at all relating to sight loss or just looking for help and advice please do call the RNIB helpline on 0303 123 9999 or use your Amazon device and ask Lady A to call the RNIB and speak to one of our Sight Loss Advisors or do visit the RNIB website where you will find a wealth of information and advice too -
