Go Bright for Sight on National Sunglasses Day
2019-06-27
Worcestershire Goes Bright for Sight on National Sunglasses Day
Sight Concern Worcestershire and our supporters are getting excited abou t delving into the dressing up box to wear our brightest, funkiest outfits and sunglasses on Thursday, 27th June 2019, National Sunglasses Day.
Sight Concern Worcestershire are your county charity helping support blind and partially sighted people to lead independent and fulfilling lives. Jenny Gage, Chief Officer says “National Sunglasses Day is the ideal opportunity to remind people about the importance of protecting their eyes, particularly children. Children spend three times more time outside and, unlike adults, children’s eyes are less able to filter out the UV rays, making them more susceptible to eye damage from UV rays. Parents should always make sure that children’s sunglasses include a UV protection label.”
Sight Concern are thrilled that Thursfields are proudly sponsoring Going Bright for Sight on Sunglasses Day. Nick O’Hara, Managing Director said “. All too often we take our eyesight for granted. There are steps we can all take to alleviate the risks of forming eye conditions such as cataracts. Thursfields will be donning their brightest gear on 27th June and we invite other businesses to join in to help raise further funds for this great cause. We hope our support over the next 12 months will help Sight Concern provide much needed support services across our region.”
It is easy for everyone to get involved whether it is schools, workplaces or nurseries, regardless of age, we can all do our bit to help support a brighter future for local blind and partially sighted people.
To get involved, order your free resources with Bright for Sight sunglasses, garland and tutu! Sight Concern also has a specially designed bunting available to download to turn your work place Bright for Sight. Email info@sightconcern.co.uk with your address or call 01905 723245.
