What a wonderful cause, another example of how radio can connect those who need it most - local, personally-connecting radio services are needed, but sadly reducing.
“When I walk down the path after installing a radio I get quite a nice buzz that I’ve made a difference to somebody’s life." - BWBF volunteer, John.
Would you like to #MakeADifference to help the many people living with sight loss across the UK? 💜

The simple gift of a radio to a partially sighted person can be a lifeline. A connection to the world. If you can support our Christmas appeal you’d be making a real difference 🙏

Over 50% of sight loss is preventable, so having your eyes tested is really important. A simple test can detect common eye conditions and health problems such as #diabetes. Mark #WorldDiabetesDay by booking in your next eye test 👓

Tom was so brilliant! ❤️
Did you catch 17-year-old Tom with @VickNHope & @jordannorth1 on @BBCR1 yesterday?
We loved hearing Tom, who's never seen, celebrate what radio & music means to him... Especially enjoyed his creative choice for a 'blue' song 🟦🌊
