ABOUT US:
Every day at the Royal Society for Blind Children we meet blind and partially sighted young people who are brimming with potential and ready to take on the world, but we also meet young people who have fallen into depression and poverty. RSBC's professional team is on hand to help young people aged 0-25 and their families understand their condition and build the confidence they need to take control of their life.
WHY OUR WORK MATTERS:
90% of those who lose their sight in youth won’t work for more than six months in their lives. Most will never have someone to share their life with.
OUR VALUES:
Accountable and responsible: Each of us takes responsibility for delivering great work and are accountable both as individuals as well as members of a team, for performance.
