Each week, on RNIB Connect Radio we sit down with Matt Stringer, CEO of RNIB, to look at some of the big stories coming from the UK sight loss charity.
This week Matt began by talking about the DCC (Disability Charity Consortium) meeting with the DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) on how the DCC work with the DWP going forward covering topics like the review into employment, then to news about the RNIB Grimaldi Building winning the Disability Smart Accessibility Built Environment Award, a thank you to all the RNIB runners in the London Marathon and as people in England cast their vote in the local elections (1 May 2025) a reminder for listeners to give feedback on how they found the voting experience as a visually impaired person.
If you, or someone you know, would like information on the support and services available from RNIB, go to www.rnib.org.uk
