Our Youth Forum

We’re committed to creating positive change and championing the voices of vision impaired young people, as well as influencing all areas of work across RSBC.

The RSBC Youth Forum is a group of blind and partially sighted young people aged between 16 and 25.

We work to raise awareness and challenge perceptions of young people with vision impairment. We aim to represent their views and opinions and highlight the issues that affect them. And we do our best to influence the people who can push for change and help improve services within RSBC itself, as well as other organisations.

The Youth Forum meets regularly with trustees and people across RSBC so that we make sure the voices of blind and visually impaired young people are heard and drive the charity’s services and engagement.

Our Manifesto

The Youth Forum has worked on a Manifesto that lays out our aims, values and beliefs.

We’ve focused on three key areas, which are: transport, mental health and employment and education.
