RNIB Connect

Each week, RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell sits down with Simon Antrobus, CEO of RNIB, to look at some of the big stories coming from the UK sight loss charity.
This week Simon talks about two positive NHS stories, importance of eye checks, and free sighted guides for the Edinburgh Festival.
If you, or someone you know, would like information on the support and services available from RNIB, go to www.rnib.org.uk
You can call our Helpline on 0303 123 9999 or ask your Smart speaker to call RNIB's Helpline.
