Royal National Institute of Blind People
UK blindness charity
About
RNIB (formally, the Royal National Institute of Blind People and previously the Royal National Institute for the Blind) is a British charity, founded in 1868, that serves people living with visual impairments. Its standardisation of tactile alphabet systems vastly improved its beneficiaries' educational outcomes during the Victorian and Edwardian eras leading to widespread adoption and a proliferation of material published in Braille.
It is regarded as a leader in the field in supporting people in the UK who have vision loss. The organisation seeks to increase awareness of blind or partially sighted people's lived experiences. Additionally, it campaigns to make services such as healthcare, education and public transport safer and more accessible to people with visual impairments.
