About the role
The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) Connect Voices network is a UK-wide online group hosted on Facebook. Connect Voices is the way for people with sight loss to hear about all opportunities to get involved with RNIB's work and the work of other organisations.
By sharing your experiences of sight loss, you can help influence and shape RNIB's work, as well as support others going through similar situations. Opportunities include:
- Short 5-minute surveys
- Research projects
- Focus groups discussing top issues affecting blind and partially sighted people
- Quick questions
- Steering groups
- Feedback requests
- And much more
There are currently over 800 members aged 18 or over, with new opportunities advertised each month. You can get involved as much or as little as you like.
