They can sell your wrong sized clothing or the CD you don’t like via their Ebay shop to raise money to fund their services supporting those living with sight loss in Wiltshire and Swindon. There are 3,750 people registered as blind or partially sighted in Wiltshire, however it is estimated that there are 15,350 people living with sight loss in the area. There are also 620 people in Swindon who are registered as blind or partially sighted and there are an estimated 5,300 living with sight loss. Wiltshire Sight provides practical support, delivered directly into the community to help people with sight loss lead full, independent, healthy and socially active lives. They work hard to fill the increasingly large gap left by the reduction in local health and social care services and for many people, are a valuable lifeline as they struggle to come to terms with their sight loss and learn how to remain independent. It costs about £250,000 each year to run Wiltshire Sight and make everything they do possible, so any amount you are able to donate will help to maintain all of their services. Here are just a few examples of what a donation could fund; £10 would pay for an individual to receive emotional support via the telephone. £50 would pay for one of their community drop in’s for up to 20 individuals to receive information advice and access to resources. £100 would pay for an assistive technology workshop. £500 would cover the costs of their home visiting service for two weeks. Maggie Hemmings – Direct Services Manager at Wiltshire Sight – had this to say: “Donating unwanted presents is an amazing way to be selfless and give something back at this time of year. Consider the fact that we may support your friend/family currently or in the future with sight loss and their independence.” She continued: “We greatly appreciate any donation, it all enables us to continue the amazing services we provide every day for those living with an eye condition. Thank you for your support in 2015, we hope in continues into 2016 and beyond.” As an independent charity Wiltshire Sight receives no core funding from statutory sources and we rely on the generosity of local people and businesses. For more information, please telephone the Wiltshire Sight team on 01380 739113 or email [email protected] Is your new years resolution to do something you’ve never done before or maybe to give something back to your local community?

We invite six speakers to talk to us on various subjects and this year they include a handwriting analyst, dietician and textile artist. In June we have a visit to a local place of interest followed by a meal in a nearby pub or restaurant; in July our Summer Party in the village hall; Skittles in October and a Christmas party in December. One of our talks this year was about the work of the Wiltshire Air Ambulance given by a lady in the village who works as a volunteer.
