Vision impaired people across Norfolk have been given a boost after Taverham Lions Club chose the county’s sight loss charity Vision Norfolk to be one of the beneficiaries of its fundraising activities during 2024.
The Lions donated £500 to the charity, which provides a wide range of support for those living with sight loss in Norfolk.
The money came from a range of fundraising activities during the year, including running a car park in Thorpe for Norwich City supporters attending home games, a series of summer barbecues, and the traditional Christmas Santa float.
Taverham Lions president Sue Howes presented a cheque to Erin Snell, community fundraising officer at Vision Norfolk, during a visit to the charity’s Norwich hub where members of the Lions found out more about the charity’s work.
“We are entirely reliant on the generosity of the people of Norfolk to be able to deliver all of our services, from supporting local people to live independently at home via our team of community outreach workers, to specialised support for vision impaired young people and their families, and a wide-ranging programme of activities aimed at tackling the social isolation which can result from sight loss,” said Ms Snell.
“We are very grateful to Taverham Lions for choosing Vision Norfolk to be one of the beneficiaries of their amazing fundraising programme.”
