Donate

Every penny donated can make a big difference to someone’s life. Money received through donations goes on to support our valuable services, including social events, counselling, digital skills, welfare rights advice and home visiting services. Help us help people like Frank (pictured right belaying up a wall at a climbing centre at one of our social groups) thrive and achieve goals they never knew possible!

We are so grateful of any amount and here is an idea of what your kind donations can help us to achieve:

• A donation of £5 could go towards refreshments for a social group.
• A donation of £10 could go towards equipment for us to demo.
• A donation of £15 could go towards a home visit to help someone with a vision impairment to read their mail or just to have a chat.
• A donation of £20 could go towards the provision of welfare benefits advice to make sure that person has everything they’re entitled to.
• A donation of £25 could go towards a counselling and wellbeing appointment for someone with a vision impairment who is struggling.
• A donation of £30 could go towards us creating new services to address the gaps in provision for those with a vision impairment.

Your donations go towards helping people with vision impairments thrive – “It’s nice being with people in the community, being at the crafts sessions. I don’t feel as isolated now and everyone, including myself has made more friends”.

Every penny donated can make a big difference to someone’s life. Money received through donations goes on to support our vital operations and expand them to reach more people with a vision impairment.

Don’t forget that if you are a UK taxpayer, you can make a Gift Aid declaration, which will allow us to claim an additional 25% on top of your donation, at no cost to you.
