Red Puppy Appeal 2010
This year's annual Red Puppy Appeal scampers away from Friday 26 -
Sunday 28 March. We're aiming to raise $1.1 million to support the
amazing work of our Guide Dog Services. Guide dogs mean freedom,
independence, confidence and companionship for around 240 blind and
partially sighted Kiwis.

website and find out how you can support the appeal.
Helping Foundation members into jobs
The RNZFB’s Employment Services team is committed to helping Foundation members into the workforce. There are already blind, deafblind and partially sighted people working in more than 80 different job sectors, and the possibilities are endless.

Accessible information for all
Did you know that only 5% of printed material is available in formats that blind people can read? Blind, deafblind and partially sighted people need access to the same information as everyone else, whether it’s novels, restaurant menus, musical scores or appliance manuals. Find about our Accessible Format Production team, read about braille, talking books and check out our Telephone Information Service.
