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:
See Sport Differently focus groups
RNIB and British Blind Sport are collaborating on a wide-ranging project to improve access and take up of sport for blind and partially sighted people. Part of the ‘See Sport Differently’ programme is focused on improving the spectator experience at large sporting events for those living with sight loss.
If you are blind or partially sighted and have attended a sporting event such as football, rugby, or cricket at a stadium in the last two years the RNIB would like to hear from you.
What makes you feel included at Christmas?
At RNIB, we know that everyone’s experience of sight loss is different. So it’s important to us that our communications and campaign activity authentically reflect the true experiences of blind and partially sighted adults, children, and their families. So that’s why we’d love to hear from you!
The RNIB upcoming Christmas fundraising campaign is about making sure all children feel included in the magic of Christmas by ensuring that they can receive a letter from Santa in their preferred format.
Would you like to be part of an event about your experiences of eye care services?
This is an exciting opportunity for blind and partially sighted people to have a chat with RNIB and other service providers in around your experience of Patient Support, Eye Care, and the Sight Loss Pathway.
