a royal society: The RSPCA. These days there are almost two hundred branches in the UK.
B) The RNIB (Royal National Institute of the Blind) is the UK’s leading charity for the
blind. Sight loss is one of the most common disabilities in the UK with over a million people
suffering from either partial or total blindness. The RNIB challenges the disabling effects of sight
loss by providing information and offering practical services to help people lead as normal a life as
possible. The organisation also works on the underlying causes of blindness working towards its
prevention, cure or alleviation.
C) TBG (Tidy Britain Group) is an independent national charity fighting to improve the
quality of the local environment. They aim to make people more aware of the negative effects of
litter, dog fouling, graffiti and vandalism and to get everyone involved in doing their bit to keep
Britain clean. The work of the TBG is done mainly through campaigning. Volunteers work closely
with councils and businesses to organise educational programmes designed to raise awareness of
the problems. The TBG’s sister organisation, Going for Green, concentrates on pollution issues.
The two groups share premises and have the same Chief Executive.
