Who we are
RNIB is the leading sight loss charity in the UK and is driving the creation of a world where there are no barriers for people with sight loss.
Our strategy
Our ambitious strategy is designed to inspire and drive meaningful change. We want everyone to understand sight loss, celebrate the capabilities and contributions of blind and partially sighted people.
Our impact
We’re proud of what we’ve achieved – to make a difference for people with sight loss – in our financial year which ended 31 March 2024. For the first time – alongside the audited RNIB Annual Report and Accounts 2023/24 - we’ve brought together a few different stories to show the impact of our work and bring the stats from the report to life.
Careers at RNIB
Working for RNIB means working towards a world where people with sight loss are equal participants in society.
Our partners
More than 2.2 billion people have sight loss worldwide - of these, more than one billion are living with preventable, or treatable, conditions because they cannot get the care and support they need. This number is only set to increase.
