## Resource

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 with the announcement that actor, and star of Disney+ UK’s ‘Rivals,’ Victoria Smurfit has been appointed as RNIB’s new President as Dame Gail Ronson DBE steps down after 14 years as President of the RNIB. Also with many people voting this week in the UK elections for the Scottish and Welsh parliaments as well as the Council and Mayoral elections in England Simon talks about the work that the RNIB has been doing looking into how to make voting accessible so that visually impaired people are able to vote independently at the polling station. 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.
