- Abstract
This book review discusses "Vision Changing Charity: RNIB in Socio-Political Context 1970–2010" by Ian Bruce. The book explores the transformation of the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), the largest British charity for the blind, over a 40-year period. It examines the internal changes within the RNIB, as well as the broader context of the charity sector in the UK. The book highlights the growth and renewal of the charity sector, the impact of social and policy changes, and the role of committed individuals in improving the lives of the blind and visually impaired. It also addresses important questions about the boundaries of social welfare provision and the prevention of substitution of state services. Overall, the book provides valuable insights into change processes and the dedication to serving beneficiaries.
