About RNC Connect

Linking experiences, empowering lives beyond RNC

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 Association means you belong.

Give Back, If You Wish

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.
