RSBC, London

The Royal Society for Blind Children has opened a new centre in Tower Bridge, London.

The charity, which was first founded by Thomas Lucas in 1938, supports blind and partially sighted children, young people, and their families. Initially, the charity was set up with the intention of teaching blind children how to read, but it has since expanded to help those who are visually impaired gain employment. The RSBC also provides homeworker schemes and workshops to assist in the development of confidence and skills through activities and education.

Moving into the new Richard Desmond Life Without Limits Center in the heart of London, the RSBC is known for vibrant colours and playful interiors to create an uplifting environment for staff and visitors. The new centre does just that, transforming an old car park into an engaging activity hub for users while also providing a modern and flexible workspace for volunteers and visitors to meet, play, and learn.

r8 t12 Perforated sheets supplied in raw mild steel WITH a RAL6019 PASTEL GREEN FINISH

Working alongside Tsunami Axis and Force Five Engineering, we were asked to supply perforated metal sheets for the balustrading surrounding the staircase. Our R8 T12 perforated sheets were the most suitable for the specification. We supplied these in raw mild steel.

Our metal sheets were then powder coated by the client and given a RAL6019 pastel green finish. Alongside the flower-printed walls and bright, earthy colours, our pastel green perforated sheets gave an optimistic, calm, and fresh feel to the hub.
