Clare Aldworth, RNIB Voice of the Customer Insight Officer, shares the latest opportunities for blind and partially sighted people to get involved in with RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey.
Opportunities highlighted this week included:
RNIB Editorial Board Member Wanted
RNIB is piloting the use of WhatsApp to reach more people who haven't previously accessed RNIB and its services.
RNIB’s Involvement team want to test the use of WhatsApp as a communication tool to reach more visually impaired people and are looking for blind and partially sighted people to help and get involved with the pilot.
You do not need to have editorial processes experience, but it will be advantageous. Experience of using WhatsApp is essential.
If you are Interested then Please email nicola.stanley-dickinson@rnib.org.uk with a short explanation of why you are interested and any previous experience you have that makes you suitable for this position. It would also be useful to know what level of vision you have so we can draw on different perspectives.
Help shape the future of RNIB Connect Voices
One of RNIB’s core values is to be led by blind and partially sighted people. Our Connect Voices online group is a vitally important part of how this happens. RNIB is currently rethinking Connect Voices and how we can make sure that the voice and opinions of blind and partially sighted people is at the heart of everything we do. We also want to make sure that we’re making the group an interesting and enjoyable place for our members.
You now have the exciting opportunity to help us shape the future of Connect Voices at this crucial turning point. We really want to hear what our group members have to say about Connect Voices, both positive and negative, and what you want to see happen with the group moving forward.
There will be a one-off focus group this month and also a couple of other groups at different times to hopefully accommodate everyone’s availability. We are looking for a broad range of experiences — whether you’ve taken part in many opportunities or none — we want to hear your thoughts! We’d love to hear from as many people as possible, but we would ask that you apply only if you are a member of Connect Voices.
To register your interest please email involvement@rnib.org.uk
