Loneliness is something many people face, but for those with sight loss, there are even greater barriers to connection. Navigating social spaces, accessibility challenges, and a lack of awareness can make it harder to build relationships and feel part of the community. But we have the power to change that.

Let’s come together, meet our neighbours, support one another, and create spaces where everyone feels welcome. A small thoughtful gesture, such as an invitation, a conversation, or a shared moment, could mean the world to someone who needs it.

That’s why on Wednesday, April 9th, we’re inviting you to take part in Vision Ireland Community Day! Host an event, big or small, to bring people together, raise awareness about sight loss and eye health, and support those who need us most. Not only will you help build a stronger, more inclusive community, but you’ll also raise vital funds to ensure people with sight loss get the help they deserve.

What can you do? Anything!

Host a coffee morning, quiz night, a walk, book club, or art workshop. Organise a football match, bake sale, poetry night, or team challenge, whatever works for you and your community! Just pick an idea, set a time and place, and invite friends, family, colleagues, and even new faces! We’ll provide everything you need, from fundraising packs to promotional materials and support as you set up your online donation page.

By taking part, you’re doing more than just hosting an event, you’re breaking down barriers, creating opportunities for connection, and making sure no one in our community feels left out. People living with sight loss often face greater challenges in forming relationships and finding a sense of belonging. Your involvement ensures they’re not just supported, but truly included.

So why not get involved, have fun, and make an impact? Mark your calendar for April 9th, and let’s make it happen together!
