SeeAbility has worked with Durham County Council and Twisting Ducks Theatre Company to create a film promoting the Durham eye care service for people with learning disabilities.  

Happy New Year! As we look forward to 2022, we wanted to thank you for your amazing support in the last year. Read our Christmas wrap-up to see how much we raised thanks to you.

Thank you for supporting our Big Give Christmas Challenge Appeal. Together, we raised an incredible £30,000 in 7 days!

There are a number of ways you can support us this Christmas and make a difference for people we support with learning disabilities, autism and sight loss.

On Sunday 21st November SeeAbility featured in the BBC’s Lifeline Appeal!

The Bradford Visual Function Box (BVFB) was developed in response to our experience of testing children with complex needs who find it difficult to engage with traditional tests. It’s simple, quick, portable and adaptable for use with children and adults with a wide range of abilities.

The Fabulous Faculty, Marvellous Mentors and Super Steppers ran, walked, rowed and hiked to make their Steps Count for SeeAbility throughout October.

It’s time for all people with learning disabilities to get the eye care they need, which can help them achieve their potential and ambitions. This is the world that I want to live in where we all have equality and, in this case, an equal right to sight. - Read our new blog by CEO Lisa Hopkins

To mark World Sight Day and to encourage people across the country to get their eyes tested, IAPB Global Ambassador Her Royal Highness, The Countess of Wessex, visited Perseid School in London, to see children having their eyes tested by our eye care team.

When Eye Care Champion Rebecca Lunness witnessed Captain Sir Thomas Moore complete 100 laps of his garden to raise an overwhelming amount of money for the NHS, she felt encouraged to get involved with the growing movement he had started.

SeeAbility has joined with other organisations to shine a light on low pay in social care through the #BetterPay4SocialCare campaign.

Remember A Charity Week is an opportunity for us all to take a moment and consider leaving a gift in our will for a charity we care about, or one who has cared for us or our loved ones.
