• S2 Ep967: Launch of the Next RNIB Voice of the Customer Tracker Survey and How You Can Get Involved Too

  The RNIB Voice of the Customer Tracker survey is a regular survey for blind and partially sighted people, whether registered or not, to share their views on a range of topics and help to shape the work that the RNIB does around access and inclusion for people living with sight loss.  Topics that have been covered in past Tracker Surveys have included: technology, cost of living, financial inclusion, mental wellbeing, rehabilitation and social relationships. RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey was joined by Robin Kay, RNIB Research and Insight Analyst to talk about the latest Tracker Survey which will be focusing on blind and partially sighted people's experiences surrounding a range of areas including eye care, getting around, employment and financial inclusion amongst others.

• S2 Ep966: Periphery: How We See (and Don't See) the World

  ‘Periphery: How We See (and Don't See) the World’ is a truly accessible immersive exhibition of work by Multi-Disciplinary Artist and Designer Sarah Jane Palmer which came from conversations Sarah had with her Farther about the visual hallucinations he had been experiencing through the condition Charles Bonnet Syndrome which is currently on at The Point, Doncaster until 16 May 2025.  RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey recently caught up with Sarah to find out a bit more about her background as an artist, how the conversations with her father about the visual hallucinations were turned into the installations and work that is on display in ’Periphery’ at the Point in Doncaster.  Sarah also explained to Toby that having now worked to make ‘Periphery’ accessible to blind and partially sighted people, Sarah will be working hard to encourage other artists and galleries to make their exhibitions truly accessible to everyone too. ‘Periphery: How We See (and Don't See) the World’ is on at the Point, Doncaster until 16 May 2025 and for more about the work on display do visit - https://periphery.myportfolio.com For more about the Point including opening times to visit ‘Periphery’ in person do visit - https://thepoint.org.uk And for more about Sarah Jane Palmer and her work do visit - https://sarahjanepalmer.co.uk (Image shows Sarah in front of part of the work, a wall mounted piece of concentric circles with various raised tactile patterns, her eyes closed and her index finger tracing part of it)
