When I was first told that I wa losing my sight I contacted RNIB and registered with them. I was told that I would be contacted. NOTHING
When I needed support to find employment, I contacted RNIB again,I registered with them again and was told that I would be contacted. NOTHING.
I eventually got help from a wonderful organisation called Birmingham focus, who have and still do support me.
I do occasionally get correspondence from RNIB, always asking me for a donation. I give them NOTHING

focuses on support and training, but mentions nothing about the social isolation
