Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB NI)

Building on the runaway success of last year's event, RNIB Northern Ireland is proud to announce the RNIB Technology Fair 2025 - Northern Ireland’s top tech event showcasing assistive products and technology available for people affected by sight loss. Bringing you skills and tools for modern living - an event like no other on the island of Ireland

Don't miss the first ever RNIB Tech for Life Fair in the Europa Hotel on 28 February, 2024. This event is free and runs from 11am until 7pm.

This is a free of charge, open learning session aimed at sighted people. The 90 minute meeting, delivered online via Teams, is an opportunity for friends, family and the wider general public to get a fuller understanding of what it is like to live with sight loss.

You are invited to join us for the closing celebration of the Need to Talk Project. Launched in 2017, the Need to Talk project is coming to a close. RNIB and NCBI (National Council of Blind Ireland) want to invite those who helped deliver the project, fund the project and who took part in the project, to come together to look at the highlights and success of the initiative and to celebrate its legacy. The event will take place on Thursday, 28 September in the Clayton Hotel, Belfast. Starting at 11am, speakers will include representatives of the project, as well as participants and recipients of the Need to Talk counselling and confidence building courses. The event will conclude at 1pm with lunch. We would like to welcome as many Need to Talk participants as we can; people who availed of the counselling service or took part in the many Living Well With Sight Loss courses. We would also like to invite anyone with an interest in mental health and counselling.

Join us as we launch our 'Eye Work With You Too' research findings and discuss how we can further improve diversity in our NI workforce by improving access to employment for people with sight loss.

Join RNIB for our Big Jump in 2019! You’ll be part of a massive team of RNIB skydivers taking to the skies over the same weekend and making the leap to support people with sight loss. We will be jumping ‘en masse’ on September 21 from Coleraine airfield alongside skydivers across the UK to mark the start of National Eye Health Week 2019 and to raise vital funds and awareness for people with sight loss.

RNIB will be hosting a Visual Impairment Awareness workshop on Tuesday 26 February, 12.30 to 3.30pm in our Derry/Londonderry office, 3 Strand Road, BT48 7BH.
