Fed News is NFBUK’s window on the world. The newsletter includes Executive Committee and Branch news, as well as articles that are of interest to members, other blind and partially sighted people and others visiting our website.
Fed News highlights the work that NFBUK is doing and we hope that NFBUK and Fed News will continue to be the voice of blind and partially sighted people across the United Kingdom.
