St Andrew’s Day open day at sight loss charity’s Edinburgh headquarters

National sight loss charity RNIB Scotland is celebrating St Andrew’s Day on Wednesday [November 30th] by holding an open day at its Edinburgh headquarters.

Visitors will have a chance to meet staff and learn more about the services, aids and equipment it offers to blind and partially sighted people.

As well as campaigning on issues affecting those with sight loss, the charity can help people maximise their independence with new technology such as accessible software for phones and computers, audio-books and talking clocks.

It also operates a community café open to the public for hot drinks and snacks, and runs various leisure and social groups.

The RNIB Scotland headquarters is located at 12-14 Hillside Crescent, Edinburgh, just off London Road.

If you or someone you know with sight loss would like to come along on St Andrew’s Day, please contact Daniel Meikle on 07821 810 955 or email:
