My name is Jill Allen-King O.B.E. I have been a member of the N.F.B. since 1970.
I was President from 1992-95. At this time we had our highest membership, 2,500 members with 38 branches.
I am now 83, my husband has dementia and I am waiting for my 8th guide dog. I am an avid and enthusiastic campaigner.
I have published 3 books, Just Jill in 2010. Jill’s Leading Ladies in 2012 and Jill’s Walk of Life in 2023. They are all available on Talking Books and in Braille.
I was also awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award in the Pride of Britain award in October 2022.
