The holiday season is here! There are lots of ways you can celebrate, shop and support local people living with sight loss.
Christmas Cards
We are selling Christmas cards to help raise funds for our services. This year we are selling eight new designs created by service users that feature everything from Christmas trees and smiling Santas to grouchy hedgehogs and a tribute to a guide dog companion. Cards can be purchased from any of our hubs or The Original Norwich Charity Christmas Card Shop at St. Peter Mancroft in Norwich.
Shopping For a Good Cause
Support Vision Norfolk while Christmas shopping from the comfort of your own home. We’re using easyfundraising.org.uk, a free fundraising platform that allows us to earn money when you shop online. EasyFundraising works with over 7,000 online brands. Just go to easyfundraising.org.uk and sign up, it takes about 1 minute.
Once signed up all you need to do is start your shopping journey at the EasyFundraising website and the retailer you shop with will send us a donation based on how much you spend. The donation per purchase will generally be between 0.5% and 10%.
Lottery
Want to test your luck in 2025? Vision Norfolk has partnered with One Lottery to run a weekly lottery. With weekly cash prizes and a chance to win the jackpot of £25,000 there is everything to play for! Tickets start at just £1. Click here to sign up.
Save Your Stamps
Drop off your used stamps at our one of our community hubs and we can turn them into funds for our charity. We use a service that will take used stamps in bulk and give us around £20 per kilogram. They then earn money back by sorting through for valuable stamps and selling bulk stamps on to special projects such as artists that use stamps in sculptures.
Movement for Good
We have been nominated to potentially receive money from Movement for Good, Benefact Group. More nominations increase our chance of receiving funds. Nominations close at 20th December 2024. You can find out more and nominate Vision Norfolk at https://movementforgood.com/.
Donate
Donations are the lifeblood of our work and whether you are able to support us with a regular donation or a one-off gift, your contribution will help someone living with sight loss to enjoy an independent and fulfilled life. You can donate here.
