PEOPLE in Southampton are being encouraged to wear dots and raise lots for a charity helping blind and partially sighted people.

The campaign RNIB Read has been launched to support the charity’s work making more books accessible for those who cannot see.

And the month-long campaign gives people a chance to wear something dotty and host a fundraising event with friends and family to raise money during October.

A fundraising pack with fun ideas and tips to take part can be found at www.readforrnib.org.uk or find out more by calling 0845 345 0054.
