The Challenge
To develop a business plan and standard costing model which details the steps necessary to make the Visibly Better (VB) programme a success.
Background
The VB programme is a comprehensive accreditation scheme developed to meet the needs of people with sight problems who live in sheltered housing and extra care homes. This is a commercially saleable product which has historically received subsidy funding from RNIB. Due to economic conditions, the VB programme had to become cost neutral in Wales by March 2016. If successful, this delivery model would be used to roll out other RNIB initiatives across the UK.
