S2 Ep1723: Charity Chief Exec's Customer Update 02/05/2026

About this episode

Simon Antrobus discusses recent fundraising successes and support services from RNIB.

Each week, on RNIB Connect Radio we sit down with Simon Antrobus, CEO of RNIB, to look at some of the big stories coming from the UK sight loss charity. This week Simon began by celebrating and thanking all of the Team RNIB runners who took part in the 2026 London Marathon raising over £200,00 for the RNIB and then to the incredible £15million milestone in flexible funding since 2018 raised by players of the Postcode Lottery, awarded by the Postcode Care Trust to the RNIB supporting many areas of the charity’s work making a real difference to the lives of blind and partially sighted people. If you, or someone you know, would like information on the support and services available from RNIB, go to www.rnib.org.uk You can call our Helpline on 0303 123 9999 Or ask your Amazon smart speaker to call RNIB's Helpline. #RNIBConnect Image Shows RNIB's CEO Simon Antrobus, Smiling, Wearing A Black Jacket With A White Shirt.
