Story

Thank you for visiting the ukcity radio sponsor page.

Please help us raise £100,000 for the royal national institute of blind people. At present, there are over 2 million people in the uk who cant read standard print and of those 2 million, 24,000 of those are children.

here are a few things you might not know:

1) there are only 5% of books made avaliable for blind people to read, thats like walking into a library to find that 95% of the books are glued shut.

2) blind people have access to a talking book but the cost to run the service is £4.5 million a year to run

3) the cost of a talking book to make costs is more than £1,000 and the RNIB makes about 450 talking books a year 

this is just a few things that the RNIB does for blind and partially sighted people so please help by donating.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.The  RNIB will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor ukcity radio now!

Many thanks for your support.
