Imagine losing your sight.
Imagine feeling isolated and alone, as if the life you knew was gone forever.
That's why our Talking Book service is so important.
They help so many blind and partially sighted people, young and old, to find joy in their lives again.
But our Talking Book service is only part of the story.
We offer information, support and advice to almost two million blind and partially sighted people.

It costs RNIB £4 million a year to run the Talking Book service. And it can cost up to £2,500 to record a single Talking Book.
Our Talking Books bring so much joy to blind and partially sighted people. And a donation from you will keep this, and our other vital services, running.
