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 by talking about his visit to the gold medal award-winning RNIB Talking Books Garden at the RHS Sandringham Flower Show 2026.  Then to the 10th Anniversary on Saturday 1 August 2026 of the NHS Accessible Information Standard which still needs to be made mandatory and fully implemented.
Ending by reflecting on the great success of all the visually impaired athletes who have been competing in the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
