S2 Ep1712: Postcode Lottery RNIB £15m Milestone Supporting RNIB’s Libraries Engagement Manager

We are celebrating the power of people helping other people and an incredible £15 million in flexible funding raised by players of the Postcode Lottery supporting the work that the RNIB does to help blind and partially sighted people live more independently and with greater confidence too. One such area of the RNIB’s work is through Lara Marshall’s role as RNIB’s Libraries Engagement Manager and working closely with Fiona Tarn, Head of London Libraries to make a real difference to blind and partially sighted library visitors in London. RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Lara and Fiona at Holborn Library in central London to find out how the funding has been helping to make library services more accessible to visually impaired people. Thanks to funding raised by players and awarded by Postcode Care Trust, RNIB has received an amazing £15 million in flexible funding since 2018. To find out more about making services more accessible like those at the London Libraries do either call the RNIB Helpline on 0303 123 9999 or visit the RNIB website - And for more about the Postcode Lottery do go to - (Image shows the RNIB Connect Radio logo.
