Connect Voices Round Up 6 July 2022

Max Conway, RNIB's National Involvement Coordinator shares the latest opportunities for blind and partially sighted people to get involved in.

Opportunities highlighted this week included:

Support the RNIB Legacy Team throughout the year!

The RNIB is looking for people with sight loss aged 50+ to provide feedback on a range of legacy projects and campaigns throughout the year. This will help us to ensure that the RNIB communications are accessible and really engaging for a range of audiences, specifically people with sight loss.

An interesting opportunity to support the RNIB and the NIHR (The National Institute for Health and Care Research) with their Eye health research projects over the next year.

The NIHR would like a small group of representatives with specific eye conditions to work with various researchers regarding their on-going research requests. 

Join the Voice of the Customer focus groups and take part in regular discussion groups chatting about the things that matter to you as a blind or partially sighted person. 

They are keen to hear from a broad range of blind and partially sighted people from across the UK and In particular, they would like to hear from young people aged 18 to 29 and people from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic groups.
