Sight Life Challenge 160
Campaign by Sight Life (RCN 214131)
Help Sight Life celebrate our 160th year by taking on a challenge of your choice to raise at least £160 for us. Each completed challenge will allow us to continue making a meaningful difference to blind and partially sighted people in South Wales.

Story

On the 4th April the staff at Robertsons Solicitors will be turning blue to raise vital funds for Sight Life!

Whether all-out as a smurf or simply wearing something blue, every outfit will help support those living with sight loss. Please support us in contributing to the life-changing services Sight Life provide.

Let’s paint the town blue, spread awareness, and make a difference, one outfit at a time! If anyone wants to join us (in particular Amy Palin, who is currently likely to be the sole smurf for the day - pictures will i'm sure be circulated), please do and share your photos with us!

43% of people with sight loss have significant depressive symptoms.

For the last 160 years, Sight Life's work has been making a meaningful impact in the lives of local blind and partially sighted people when they need us the most.

In our recent survey, 90% of our Service Users told us that they felt less isolated and lonely, 80% felt more independent and 74% were more active and healthier as a result of our work.

We want to keep supporting and evolving the services we offer for the next 160 years but we need your support!

Raising just £160 for Sight Life will allow us to visit a Service User at home to provide essential advice to ensure they can continue to live independently; provide a bespoke session on how to successfully manage living with sight loss and reduce the isolation it imposes; and also run a social group that can become a life-line to our Service Users and gives them a reason to leave home.

The money you raise matters. Thank you for helping us make a difference!
