Taverham Lions Donation Boosts Charity’s Support For Those Living With Sight Loss

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.”

Off Road Driving Experience

We were fortunate to be able to arrange another free driving experience at the beginning of October. People with varying degrees of sight loss took turns in 4×4 vehicles, tackling the off road course at Elveden Estate with the expert guidance of instructors from Explore 4×4.

Two photographs side by side. On the left: Photo shows a rugged, eroded cliffside under a cloudy sky. In the foreground, the ground is uneven and rocky, with reddish-brown soil and chunks of stone scattered around. Some areas look freshly exposed, as if rain or wind recently washed parts of the earth away. There’s a small patch of muddy water near the bottom of the scene. In the background, the cliff rises sharply upward. Its face is light beige with dark grey and brown layers running through it, showing how the earth has built up over time. The top of the cliff is covered with a thin layer of green grass and small patches of yellow wildflowers. Deep cracks run down parts of the cliff, hinting that pieces might eventually break off. On the Right: Photo shows a black and white close up image of a wooden groyne with 6 small pebbles stuck in the small gap of the groyne through the larger gap at the top of the picture you can just make out the clifftop.
