“We began volunteering with Eye Matter in 2022 after meeting Suzie at a community function, and were instantly drawn to her warm personality and her unwavering commitment to ensuring Blind and Partially Sighted people have the same opportunities to enjoy social activities as anyone else.
Since then, we have supported Eye Matter at countless events — many of which we may never have experienced ourselves — including theatre visits and touch tours, heritage trails at places like Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle, Sports Day and both the Summer and Winter singing concert.
Throughout our time volunteering, we have witnessed the charity grow from strength-to-strength, with membership steadily increasing. We always enjoy speaking with Eye Matter’s wonderfully diverse members and hearing how they discovered the charity. Time-and-time again, we are reminded that without Eye Matter, many would still be at home feeling isolated. Knowing that the charity makes such a difference is exactly why we continue to volunteer, and long may we continue to do so.”
