Club 150
Celebrate 150 years of Vision Support by taking on a challenge that means something to you. In 2026, Vision Support turns 150 years old!
To celebrate this incredible milestone, we’re launching Club 150 – a year-long campaign inviting individuals, families, groups, and businesses to support our work in a way that feels personal, achievable, and fun!
Whether you challenge yourself, give your time, or share your professional skills, your 150 helps change lives.
What is Club 150?
Club 150 is all about one simple idea: Choose a challenge connected to the number 150 and take part your way.
There’s no minimum fundraising target and no “right” way to get involved. You can take part on your own, with friends, as a family, or through your workplace – at any point during our anniversary year.
Choose your 150
Here are a few ways you could take part or use them as inspiration to create your own.
Take on a challenge
Fundraise for a physical or personal challenge linked to 150, for example:
- Cycle 150 miles
- Walk 150 kilometres
- Swim 150 lengths
- Run 150 minutes over a month
- Read 150 pages, books, or minutes
- Bake or create 150 items
Donate 150 minutes of your skills
If you have a practical, creative, or hands-on skill, you can donate 150 minutes of your time or talent to support Vision Support. This could include things like:
- Gardening or garden tidy-ups
- Floristry or flower arranging
- DIY or light maintenance
- Crafts or handmade items
- Photography
- Baking or food-related skills
- Creative workshops or demonstrations
Give 150 minutes
Donate your time by volunteering 150 minutes (or more):
- Help at a Vision Support activity or event
- Fundraise in your community
- Support behind the scenes
- Volunteer as part of a team or workplace initiative
Your donated skill or item will be auctioned at our anniversary ball in November, with all proceeds supporting Vision Support’s work.
It’s a wonderful way to take part if you enjoy creating or doing something practical, and every donation, big or small, helps make our 150th year truly special. It is also a great opportunity to get visibility for your business as we can include you in our comms.
And please remember to share you success on socials and tag us in it! Our social media handles can be found on the ‘contact us’ page of our website.
