World Sight Day - Dress Bright for Sight
World Sight Day is an annual day of awareness held on 11th October 2018, to focus attention on blindness and vision impairment.
Somerset Sight was founded in 1919, in direct response to the needs of wounded soldiers coming back from the First World War. Our aim is to empower blind and visually impaired people within our rural community to live full and independent lives despite sight loss. We are not part of the RNIB; we work locally, based in Taunton, and cover the whole of Somerset, providing practical and emotional support to over 3000 people of all ages and their families.
We are inviting local Schools in Somerset to go bright for sight and dress up for the day. We are asking everyone to donate £1 to Somerset Sight.
We can also arrange to come into your school and do workshops in classes for the pupils on Visual Impairment. Bringing simulation specs and activities.
Please let me know if you wish to take part. We would love to make a real impact and have as many schools and businesses across Somerset taking part.
I am contactable on 01823 366147 or by emailing holly.sutton@somersetsight.org.uk
Please see event flyer in the downloads section.
