SIR – It’s Read for RNIB Day on Friday, October 14, and I am appealing to your readers to help the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) celebrate the joy of reading, and raise money for reading services such as braille and Talking Books for almost two million blind and partially-sighted people across the UK.
Reading must be one of my greatest pleasures. I would happily spend the rest of my days in a comfortable chair with every book I’ve ever read plus the thousands not yet in my repertoire! I cannot imagine being denied of the sight to do so.
Whether it’s getting together with friends and family to host a literary lunch or a reading group, or taking on a more active challenge, your contribution will make a huge difference to the lives of blind and partially-sighted people. Simply call 0845 345 0054 or visit rnib.org.uk/readforrnibday.
Please take part in Read for RNIB Day and help blind and partially-sighted people find their lives again through reading.
Jo Brand, Supporter of RNIB
