On Thursday 15 June 2023 Her Royal Highness, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh officially opened RNIB’s new London office the Grimaldi Building and RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was there chatting to some of the staff volunteers and customers who met Her Royal highness, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.
Toby was joined by Julian Padmore, Eye Care Liaison Officer (ECLO) at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire.
Julian told Toby what it was like meeting Her Royal Highness, how knowledgeable the Duchess was about sight loss with her connections with other charities and how he will now be able to tell the clients he meets as an ECLO about how amazing it was meeting Her Royal Highness, something which he had kept quiet about in the lead up to the official Royal opening.
