This week, a group of our service users had an amazing time at Lake Coniston, despite the mixed weather! Opportunities like this mean the world to those living with sight loss, but they wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our supporters. A special thank you to the Eric Wright Group Charitable Trust for making this trip happen. Your support is crucial in providing opportunities that help our community connect, grow, and experience new things. 🧡
