Postcode Lottery RNIB £15m Milestone Supporting the RNIB Visibly Better Employer Standard

We are celebrating the power of people helping other people and an incredible £15 million in flexible funding raised by players of the Postcode Lottery supporting the work that the RNIB does to help blind and partially sighted people live more independently and with greater confidence too.

One such area of the RNIB’s work is the Visibly Better Employer Standard helping employers to support their visually impaired staff and job seekers too.

The Aneurin Bevan university Health Board in Wales was the first NHS health board to be awarded the standard.

RNIB Connect radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Katie Morgan-Jones, RNIB Employment Advisor Visibly Better Employer and David Chaffey, ABUHB Disability Inclusion Officer who is visually impaired and was instrumental in ABUHB applying for and being awarded the standard for an overview on the VBES and the impact it has had on ABUHB staff and patients too. 

Thanks to funding raised by players and awarded by Postcode Care Trust, RNIB has received an amazing £15 million in flexible funding since 2018.
