Every day 250 people are given the devastating news that they are losing their sight. This September we are asking you to show your support for Beacon by joining in the fun of Swim 250.

Whether you’re a seasoned swimmer or just dipping your toes in the water, everyone’s welcome to take part, and your challenge, should you wish to accept, is to swim 250 lengths of pool, or in response to demand, 250 minutes of open water swimming during September.

Whether you join in by yourself or as part of a team you can make it as challenging as you want to, its all part of the fun.

We are asking all our participants to consider raising sponsorship money for this challenge…

•Raise £50 and you will receive our brand new Beacon Swim 250 medal

•Raise over £100 and you'll receive a personalised tote bag and a Beacon's Swim 250 medal

Your money can go a long was in helping us support the people who need us the most, a donation of £50 could support us in offering sight loss advice sessions or 30 minute welfare calls ensuring no one is left feeling alone.

Just Giving is the easiest way to collect sponsor money https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising-page/creation/?cid=19522&eid=8559626&utm_source=website_cid19522_eid8559626&utm_medium=eventlinking&utm_campaign=eventlinkingurl, however if you would like a paper sponsorship form please email supportus@beaconvision.org

We've also created a tracker to keep a tally of the lengths you swim through out the month, it's free to use and can be downloaded here!
