RNIB Regional Campaigns team - background, areas and contact details
August 2009
RNIB has six Regional Campaigns Officers (RCOs) based in across England. The regional officers work with local and regional decision makers such as Primary Care Trusts and Local authorities to improve services and support available to people who are blind or partially sighted. They also support local people to campaign on issues which directly affect them, often relating to transport and travel, accessibility of information, and availability of services.
