About RNIB
We are the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).
Every six minutes, someone in the UK begins to lose their sight. RNIB is taking a stand against exclusion, inequality and isolation to create a world without barriers where people with sight loss can lead full lives. A different world where society values blind and partially sighted people not for the disabilities they’ve overcome, but for the people they are.
RNIB.

Sooty, the famous loveable bear and national treasure, has been featured on RNIB’s collection boxes for over 50 years. RNIB has raised more than £13 million in public donations collected in our iconic Sooty boxes with your support. Join our community of amazing volunteer Sooty box collectors and help us to provide blind and partially sighted people with the support they need.

RNIB urgently needs volunteers to collect and bank donations received through our Sooty boxes, which play a vital role in generating income and raising our profile in local communities. This role is completely flexible and can be performed by individuals, pairs, or groups and the time you dedicate to it is entirely up to you and your commitments.
1 Hour a week Minimum. You can give your time as little or as often as you like.
