Sarah Lambert (pictured) has been appointed head of social change at the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB).
Ms Lambert joins the charity from the National Autistic Society where she was head of policy, public affairs and volunteering. During her time at the society, she was central in securing the first disability specific legislation in the UK, the Autism Act 2009.
In the newly-created role, Ms Lambert will lead the charity’s policy and campaigns teams, as well as the external communications team.
Speaking about the appointment, she said: “I’m excited to be joining the RNIB in its 150th year. With social change such a central part of the RNIB’s refreshed strategy, I am looking forward to working alongside blind and partially sighted people to help remove the barriers preventing their equal participation in society.”
