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
Since our beginnings, more than 150 years ago, we’ve worked tirelessly to help blind and partially sighted people build the essential skills, knowledge, and confidence they need. We’ve campaigned for changes that have made life more equitable for people with sight loss – in everything from education and employment to healthcare and travel.
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.
