Thank you Andrew Griffith MP for meeting with our CEO Kirstie, who was able to share the work that we do for our community.

I met with Kirstie Thomas CEO of 4Sight Vision Support which is an independent West Sussex charity that provides specialist advice and support for people of all ages living with sight loss, helping them to adapt, gain confidence, and live their lives without limits. It was incredible to hear how many people are supported by this charity and by so many volunteers!

Services include personalized support plans, information on accessibility aids and assistive technology, advice for carers, and a caring community through various clubs and outreach services. The charity relies on donations and volunteers to deliver its services, which aim to relieve the anxiety associated with sight loss and promote independence.

It’s a worthwhile cause for a donation if you can: https://www.4sight.org.uk/donate-and-make-a-positive-difference-today/

A BIG... Thanks to the generous support of Tesco staff and customers in the Horsham area, we’ve been able to provide valuable assistance to young people who are blind or partially sighted. Our work continues as these young people move into adulthood, helping them gain independence and become active members of their communities.

Over the past year, we’ve supported eight young people and their families and carers, in the Horsham area. Visiting them in their homes and schools. Sharing advice on the best ways to make use of visual aids, assistive technology, and ways for them to remain independent, and in many cases in a main stream learning environment.

So next time you are in a Tesco store, don't forget to pick up your blue tokens, and vote for your local good causes.

Emergency Alerts system test in September
The UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm.
Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

How you opt out depends on your device, but if you aren't sure how to do it, Refuge, the largest specialist domestic abuse organisation in the UK, has a guide on how to turn off emergency alerts and secure your device on their Tech Safety website.

If you need support with your mobile phone, or other technology then get in touch with us by calling 01243 82855 or email enquiries@4sight.org.uk
