Regional member forum events

Our regional member forum events are held across the country and give you the chance to meet other blind and partially sighted people in your area. We provide lunch and we can help you with your travel arrangements so that it's easy to come along.

Regional member forum events also provide an opportunity for you to share your experiences and opinions with RNIB. We'll discuss a range of topics, such as shopping, reading, travel and technology.

Each region has nominated Member Representatives who raise issues on your behalf and work with our trustees and senior management to make sure your experiences directly influence the work that we do.

Telephone forums

If you can't attend your regional member forum event, you can take part in a telephone forum. You'll be brought together by a trained facilitator with your regional member representative and other members for up to an hour to discuss the issues that are important to you. We call you so it's totally free.

Regional member forum events and telephone forums are just one of the great benefits of RNIB Membership. RNIB Members also enjoy a range of great discounts and special offers. Join today by calling 0303 1234 555 or emailing membership@rnib.org.uk.
