This month, RNIB Cymru is hoping to try a new system for the telephone groups which will automatically dial people in so there won’t be any codes to remember or links to find.
One-to-one calls: In addition to the telephone groups, RNIB Cymru have 9 volunteers who have been trained to be telephone befrienders. They can call isolated blind and partially sighted people once a week, for a friendly chat with someone who is prepared to listen and be supportive. Please contact any of the community connection coordinators to find out more.
