How playing helps
Every day 250 people start to lose their sight in the UK. Every line you play helps blind and partially sighted people - £1 could cover the cost of ten blind and partially sighted people tuning in to RNIB Connect Radio, run by and for people with sight loss to promote independence and reduce social isolation.
“I’m enjoying life again”
Charlene
Since getting involved in RNIB Connect, Charlene has become part of a supportive, friendly community of people – all of whom are blind or partially sighted.
When Charlene’s vision deteriorated, her life changed drastically. She couldn’t drive, go to work or stay independent. Now she’s connected with people who help her to overcome these challenges, rediscover her independence and enjoy life again.
Help more people with sight loss enjoy life again.

“I’ve got my confidence back.”
Heather
“Through RNIB Connect I found out how to get the counselling I desperately needed. As a premature baby, I was born without sight. Growing up I was always independent and positive, but as I got older things got harder. I was at a dark place in my life. Now I’ve got my pride and confidence back, I’m enjoying life again.”

Gordon is an enthusiastic member of RNIB Connect. He became partially sighted over 20 years ago, when he had Retinal Detachment in both eyes.
As a Lead Connector, he’s currently setting up a Technology Support Group in Wales to help blind and partially sighted people make the most of assistive technology. Good luck with your new group, Gordon!
