Think they are trying to put things right, as they had a surplus of circa 6M in 
2017-8.

Hello,

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

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
