The Blindfold Mile , 26 March 2022
The Blindfold Mile
Campaign by New College Worcester (RCN 1118377)
We are inviting people to take on the unusual challenge of walking a mile blindfolded. Our aim is to spread awareness of vision impairment & allow people to experience some of the challenges that blind & partially sighted people overcome each day.

Story

Our Mum works at NCW and we hear about what an amazing job the College does to support the students. We have decided to do a challenge together to raise funds for NCW. 

We would like to raise a little bit of money to help with the running of the College and provide extras for the students. 

We will be walking 'The Blindfold Mile' on the 26th of March and hope to walk a mile or more. 

Our aim is to learn about vision impairment and experience some of the everyday challenges that someone that is blind or VI may overcome each day.  

NCW is a national residential school and college for young people aged 11 to 19 who are blind or vision impaired. The majority of our students school fees are paid by their own local authority. This covers the cost of their education and residency and any one-one support a student may need. However, the costs associated with general maintenance, unexpected repairs, the school refurbishment programme, school vehicles and most trips and activities are paid for by the School, supported as much as possible by our Fundraising department. We are always very grateful to receive donations that in some way helps to provide our students with the facilities, opportunities and experiences they deserve. Our fundraising team work with supporters from across the UK and are always on hand to support you in your fundraising efforts.
