Challenges Of Shopping For The VI Community During Lockdown

If you're blind or partially sighted, accessing food and groceries in the UK right now can present a challenge. 

 

Which is why, since the very beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, charity RNIB have been working to help support blind and partially sighted people who are struggling with access to their essential shopping. 

 

And now with another lockdown in place and stores tightening their rules around shopping, we thought it would be good to catch up with  RNIB's Special Projects Manager, Steve Packer to hear what the charity is focusing on this year to help ensure those living with sight loss are not forgotten.
