It’s National Eye Health Week, the perfect time to think about how you can protect your vision and prevent avoidable sight loss.

Regular eye tests can spot serious conditions like glaucoma and diabetes early – even if your vision seems fine. Book that all-important test today and you could save your sight.

Here are some top tips for healthy eyes:
• Take breaks from screens
• Wear sunglasses all year round
• Eat a balanced diet
• Prioritise eye-friendly foods (carrots, leafy greens, eggs and oily fish)
• Quit smoking
• Get enough sleep and stay active

For more information about keeping your eyes healthy, visit www.nab.org.uk or call 01604719193.

On Thursday 25th September, June-Elizabeth will be swimming 30 minutes non-stop for NAB.

June-Elizabeth has been an NAB volunteer for 10 years and her late husband, Clifford, received support from us for his sight loss. She will be fundraising in his memory and the 30 minutes swim will mark the near 30 years of their marriage.

Thank you from the NAB team for this amazing effort, June-Elizabeth!

If you would like to show your support June-Elizabeth, you can donate to her fundraiser here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/jecharityswim

Highlights from our Volunteer Celebration Events ✨

In the last year, over 100 amazing people have given their time to help visually impaired people in Northamptonshire.

To show our gratitude, we hosted lunch events in the North and West of the county to celebrate the people who are at the heart of everything we do – Volunteers!

So, thank you to all our volunteers, whether you could attend or not, and congratulations to Tass, Tracey and Helen for winning the sensory quiz!

If an NAB volunteer has made a difference for you, thank them in the comments below.

Meet our The Amazing Northampton Run runners!

Rebecca from Newmedica and Dan from NAB will be taking on the half marathon this Sunday.

Months of training will pay off as they run from the Market Square to Sixfields, through the Racecourse and Abington Park, and head back into the town centre through the University campus.

We’ll also have the Mobile Sight Centre at the Charity Village near the start line, so be sure to pay us a visit if you are coming down to run or cheer people on!

Have you ever thought about how you’d like to be remembered?

It’s ‘Remember a Charity Week’ and this year’s theme is all about celebrating the quirks, hobbies, and funny moments that made our loved ones unforgettable. It’s also the perfect time to reflect on the legacy you might one day leave behind.

At NAB, gifts left in Wills help us continue supporting visually impaired people across Northamptonshire—whether it’s through social groups, day trips, book clubs, or children’s events.

Thinking of writing a Will?
We’ve partnered with Tollers Solicitors to offer a free Will writing service for all NAB service users and supporters. Not sure where to start? No worries! Tollers have completed our sight loss awareness training and will guide you through the process with care and patience.

Even a small gift in your Will can make a huge difference for generations to come.

To find out more or book your free Will appointment, call us on 01604 719193.

Thank you to the Newmedica Northampton team for raising over £160 for NAB at their cake sale! The staff got involved baking some incredible treats and the generous people purchasing the cakes, many of whom were Newmedica patients, ensured this was a great success.

To all involved – thank you for helping us support visually impaired people in this county.
