Welcome to RNC Connect:
The Royal National College for the Blind Alumni Community
Welcome to RNC Connect, the Royal National College for the Blind (RNC) Alumni Community
Welcome to the official alumni association of the RNC – a lifelong community created to help former students stay connected, supported and celebrated.
Whether you left our college last year or decades ago, you remain a valued part of the RNC family.
Our mission is to build a vibrant, engaged network of former students who support one another and inspire the next generation.
Alumni engagement begins the moment you join RNC and continues long after you graduate.
If you studied at the RNC, you’re already one of us.
Joining RNC Connect is about staying connected, feeling welcome, and being part of a supportive network that understands where you’ve been and where you’re going.
We’re glad you’re here and we’d love to hear from you.
A Community That Lasts a Lifetime
The RNC is more than a college, it’s a community that shapes confidence, independence, friendships and futures. RNC Connect keeps those connections alive, creating opportunities to:
- Reconnect with old friends and classmates
- Share stories, memories and achievements
- Support and inspire current and future students
- Stay in touch with the life and spirit of the RNC
Everyone’s experience is unique, but we are united by a shared understanding and pride in what the RNC represents.
Stay Connected
We keep in touch through events, newsletters and online spaces where alumni can meet, chat and share updates.
From informal catch‑ups to organised gatherings, there are plenty of ways to stay involved, wherever you are.
You don’t have to attend everything – simply being part of the community means you belong.
Get Involved
Many alumni enjoy giving something back to the college and its students, whether through mentoring, sharing experiences, attending events, or offering encouragement. There’s no pressure, just opportunities, should you want them.
Your voice, experience and story matter.
