Every day, 250 people start to lose their sight. You can help us be there for them.

With RNIB’s ECLOs (Eye Care Liaison Officers) who give immediate, urgent assistance and our Helpline which provides fast, vital support, your donation will help us be here to give information, guidance and reassurance whenever it’s needed.

Jenny, an ECLO, knows firsthand how people can struggle with sight loss

When Jenny was first told she was losing her sight, she went into shock. Not knowing where to turn, or what the future held, she left the clinic without the support she desperately needed,

Now, as an ECLO herself, Jenny sees every day how much it means to have someone by your side following a diagnosis. ECLOs are stationed in eye care clinics across the country. They are often the first line of support for people after a sight loss diagnosis and are ready to guide people through the difficult first steps of sight loss with emotional and practical advice.

An ECLO by your side can be the difference between hope and hopelessness; with your support, we can make sure no one goes through a diagnosis alone.

"With your help we can continue to explain, reassure and change more lives for the better."

and offer vital guidance on everything from treatment options, through to accessing travel and technology grants. Every call or message RNIB answers gives blind and partially sighted people the life-changing support they need to live fulfilled, independent lives.

“I rang up RNIB Helpline - and I haven't looked back ever since. They talked with me a lot - and without them, I don't know what I would have done.”
