RNIB (sight loss charity) Helpline

Our information, advice and signposting service for people who are losing their sight, are visually impaired or blind. We can help with all aspects of your condition:

  • treatments
  • direct you to the people, services and organisations there to help, both locally and nationally, including voluntary groups and support from social services
  • financial benefits, concessions and grants that you could be entitled to
  • everyday products that can help make life easier
  • suggest ways you can continue to enjoy your hobbies and leisure time
  • help you join and use our library service of over 40,000 titles in braille, Moon, giant print and audio
  • employment, training and education opportunities
  • housing options, whether staying in your own home or moving elsewhere
  • emotional support and counselling services
  • or simply to offer a listening ear

Our specialist advice workers will spend time with you over the phone, making sure the support they give is right for you. We'll call you back a few weeks later to find out how you're getting on and what else we can do to help.
