Thank you to our supporters

Apart from a wonderful holiday trekking in the spectacular Picos de Europa mountains of Northern Spain it’s been an extremely busy summer!

Our organisation never really rests and I must thank every single employee and volunteer for their continuing commitment and dedication to our cause as we try to achieve more through our work with visually impaired people and to do so with ever tighter budgets.

Now we, like everyone else, are faced with the uncertain fallout of the global economic situation. Our donors are continuing to give to our cause and my thanks go to every one of them on behalf of all the visually impaired people that we are able to support each year.

Past economic hiccups have not seen a downturn in charitable giving and generous donors realise that it is in tough times that charities and their beneficiaries need even more support. But this looks like being more than a hiccup and, if things do get worse, I do ask our loyal donors to stay with us. Every contribution makes a real difference.

Meanwhile, if anyone out there has made a bundle on short selling shares and would like to find a tax efficient good cause, look no further than Action for Blind People!
