Charlotte Jones, RNIB's National Involvement Coordinator shares the latest opportunities for blind and partially sighted people to get involved in.
Opportunities highlighted this week included:
Did you have a power cut for 2 or more days because of a winter storm?
A team from Kings College London are looking for people with a disability or health condition who experienced power cuts for 2 days or more during the 2021–22 winter season to share their experiences with researchers in a video or telephone call to find out what support people need in future power cuts.
Join a virtual forum and share your experiences of Wet-AMD to help raise awareness!
Fixing Dad, a health engagement organisation who look into patient journeys across all kinds of health conditions are looking for people living with wet-AMD who would be willing to participate in a one-hour online discussion to share their experiences about what it’s like for them to live with Wet-AMD.
The RNIB website is being redeveloped and we need your help!
Our website rnib.org.uk is in the process of being updated and redeveloped and we need your help with user testing. Earlier this year we held interviews with different types of users to understand their experiences of our website and now, we’re asking for help to test the prototypes of our new website. We are keen to hear from the friends and family of blind and partially sighted people and also people who have been recently diagnosed with sight loss.
