Read more about Royal NZ Foundation of the Blind:
The Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind is New Zealand's primary provider of vision-related habilitation and rehabilitation services to blind, deafblind and vision-impaired people.
Each year nearly 1,200 New Zealanders who have gone blind or experienced serious sight loss register as RNZFB members. The RNZFB equips its 11,700 members with the adaptive skills, technology and resources they need to create new beginnings and lead independent lives.
The RNZFB is constituted under the Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind Act 2002, and is an organisation which is accountable to its members. Eight of the nine Board Directors are elected by the Foundation's blind, deafblind and vision-impaired membership. This means that its members now actively influence the RNZFB through consultation, via the Board election process and by attending annual or special meetings.
Through our website, you can find out where we've come from, what we stand for, how the organisation operates, and information about our membership and the types of eye conditions members have.
