World Sight Day

Oh, yeah.

We're doing this actually on the back of World Sight Day, which was actually the week before.

It's the 8th of October, so I'm sure you guys will be talking about World Sight Day.

There'll be an exhibition of assistive technology, there'll be some of our charity partners some of the big sight loss charities in ireland like child vision vision ireland irish guide dogs fighting blindness the anne sullivan center and vision sports are all going to be present and the community hub for assistive technology and sarah boland who was on your show before will be there delivering a workshop and there's going to be workshops around some of the research projects that are being done in TU Dublin by some of their students.

So loads of things going on on Monday and Tuesday and then on Wednesday for people who aren't in Dublin we're going to Cork and we'll be at the Irish Guide Dog Centre in Ballincollig from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Could your school raise money for our charity? Could you organize a bake sale, a coffee morning, a fitness challenge, a quiz night, or a non-uniform day? Maybe you and your friends, family members, or colleagues could take on a group challenge.

Whatever you decide, your fundraising and awareness raising will support Retina UK on World Sight Day, which is the eighth of October and beyond.
