How To Help Us

We rely heavily on donations and bequests to sustain our service as we receive no financial support from RNIB and only a small annual grant from Reading Borough Council. To make a donation please click the donate button above left. Alternatively, please make cheques payable to RAB and send them to us at Walford Hall, Carey Street, Reading RG1 7JS.

We have an eBay site to sell donated items so if you have quality items that you no longer require, please consider donating them for our site (We receive 100% of the final bid amount).
We collect Foreign coins so if you have any left over from holidays please consider us.
We also collect wool and any craft materials that can be worked and re-sold and any donations of this sort will also be very welcome.

easyfundraising.org
If you shop online you can help RAB raise funds. All you have to do is register with easyfundraising and elect RAB to be your chosen charity. 100's of top retailers participate and when you purchase something from them they will pay a percentage donation to us by way as a thank you for shopping with them. See our ‘Links’ page if you wish to visit their site for further details and to register.
