Hello,

Just from a brief search, it appeared the RNIB made a loss of over 12
million pounds for the 2016-17 financial year.

I gave up on them a long time ago.
They just squander money not on the blind!

Hi,

I sent this to the Moderator last Friday but got no response. After
several
months of stalling the RNIB have dropped the VI community in Bristol in
the
brown stuff. I accept that the vast majority of BCAB members will not be
able to attend this meeting but I have been informed that Tom Walker of
In
Touch will be attending.

Briefly, the RNIB brought the Resource Centre in Bristol for £1 when the
old
Bristol Royal Society for the Blind went under in 1999. Last year the
Centre
was sold to GDBA for £677,000 with a promise they would find an
alternative
site for VI people in Bristol to meet. Read on.

Subject: Bad news about the relocation of RNIB in Bristol


    Dear Friends,



I am sorry to have to tell you that RNIB will not be moving into a
central
Bristol location with Vision West of England as hoped. We learned
yesterday
that their property budget, which would have paid for the move, is
already
oversubscribed and RNIB has now decided that they will no longer rent
property on a long lease.



It is possible that RNIB will find some cheap office space on the
outskirts
of Bristol to rent on a short term basis, but they will not be providing
the
alternative community facilities that they promised us when the sale was
announced, and which they have continued to promise ever since.



The Bristol Location Partnership group is scheduled to meet at Stillhouse
Lane next Tuesday afternoon (22 January). We need as many visually
impaired
people as possible, plus their friends and supporters, to come along and
express their anger about the situation. We will be gathering at 10
Stillhouse Lane from 1pm.



Make your voice heard. Come along and have your say. This may be your
only
chance.



Please let me know if you are coming, so that we can send you further
information and discuss any assistance you may need.



Best wishes,



Paul Sullivan

Secretary, Bristol and District VI Voice
