Lucy Edwards joins RNIB to champion inclusion

The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has appointed blind content creator and disability activist, Lucy Edwards, as the charity’s ambassador.

Edwards, who is also an award-winning presenter, journalist and author, shared: ‘I’m so excited to be an RNIB ambassador because I want to show that you don’t just have to survive, you can thrive as a blind person.’

Over the years, Edwards has supported RNIB’s mission to raise awareness of the challenges people with sight loss face daily and to push for a more inclusive world.

Vivienne Francis, RNIB’s chief of strategy and public affairs, stated: ‘We’re very excited to continue working together to champion the importance of accessibility and inclusion.’
