Abstract

RNIB is a large national charity founded in 1868. The RNIB Group delivers services directly to people affected by sight loss and campaigning, policy and large-scale infrastructure projects. In common with other organizations within the sector it suffered from rising costs, reduction in income and competition with other charities. RNIB addressed this by bringing in leadership with a specific mandate to change the organization. Its survival and that of other organizations was ensured by adopting innovative practice adapted from the business world, most notably mergers with other charities. It has also

actively engaged in collaboration across the sight loss sector and beyond, re-invigorated and invested in traditional fundraising routes and embedded evidencing impact across all services and campaigns.
