It’s nearly that time of year again when Santa Claus and his elves at the North Pole are busy getting ready to spread festive joy to all children.
As always, Santa is expecting to receive millions of letters from children around the world with endless lists of what they’d like to receive in their stockings when the big day arrives.
To ensure children living with a vision impairment in the UK get a reply from jolly old Saint Nicholas, he’s once again teamed up with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) to make his letters available in accessible formats, including audio and large print.
Last year, the elves sent more than 2700 letters from Santa to children with a vision impairment across the UK, helping them experience the same magic of Christmas as sighted children.
If you know a child who has a vision impairment who would love to receive a letter from Santa in braille, large print or audio, please send their Christmas letter to: Santa Claus, RNIB, Northminster House, Northminster, Peterborough, PE1 1YN.
Letters can be requested through RNIB’s website at www.rnib.org.uk/santa. Postal letters and website requests need to be sent by Friday 1 December.
Santa can also receive letters through his email address. Email santa@rnib.org.uk by Tuesday 19 December for an email response with a large print attachment.
On behalf of Santa, his elves and all at RNIB, we wish you a Merry Christmas!
