Executive Summary
This report presents research conducted with London South Bank University to evidence the social impact being created by RNIB and Action for Blind People's two social firms, Concept Conferencing Centre and Viewpoint. These are social enterprises that provide employment and training opportunities to blind and partially sighted people.
The research methodology involved interviewing ten current and past employees and trainees at both organisations to gather evidence of how employment had changed their lives. In addition five interviews were held with the social firm managers and commercial clients, and a short questionnaire with three of the employees' families.
