Sign RNIBs Out of Sight Petition
About this opportunity
Opportunity ID

Opportunity type
Quick actions, fast impact
Description
Life changes after sight loss, sometimes overnight, often in dramatic ways. Done well, vision rehabilitation equips people with new ways to stay independent: to get out and about, adapt their work, shop and enjoy hobbies.
However, the reality is stark. Over a quarter of local authorities in England left people waiting for more than a year for a vision rehabilitation assessment and subsequent support. Threadbare services mean people wait without the support they’re entitled to, at risk of physical accidents and injuries as well as mental health crises.
RNIB is calling on all UK political parties in this general election year to commit to ensuring blind and partially sighted people get the support they need when they need it.
To sign our petition, search online for “Support RNIB campaigns”, and you will find our dedicated web page, where all our active campaigns are listed. Select “Out of Sight” from the list and select “Sign the petition”. Thank you.
