The Voice UK 2013 winner Andrea Begley has been announced as an ambassador for RNIB in Northern Ireland.

Begley, who was diagnosed with Glaucoma - an eye condition which affects the pressure within the eye - as a child, commented 'I've always had an interest and passion for issues around sight loss and I think there are still huge barriers and hurdles facing people with sight loss living in today's society. Growing up as a young person with sight loss, I know first-hand, the challenges and problems you can experience. I’m really looking forward to what being an ambassador for RNIB NI will bring'.
