Small charities. Big impact.

This Small Charity Week (22–29 June), 4Sight Vision Support is proud to be part of a national celebration of the vital role small charities play in communities across the UK.

Here in West Sussex, small charities like ours make a real difference every day. We support nearly 3,800 people living with sight loss and their families – helping to build connection, independence and opportunity.

Small charities are rooted in their communities, responding quickly to local needs and providing support that truly reflects the people they serve.

We’d also like to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to all the other small charities making a difference every single day. Your work strengthens communities and changes lives in ways that truly matter. At a time when many communities are under increasing pressure, small charities have never been more important.

Thank You Thursday

We’re excited to share some wonderful partnership news! We’re delighted that Richard Place Dobson has chosen us as their Charity of the Year. We recently had a fantastic introductory meeting with their team and are really looking forward to working together over the coming year.

This partnership is especially meaningful to us, as we were nominated by two of their employees – both of whom are clients of ours who experienced our support first-hand.

Richard Place Dobson has a brilliant track record of supporting charities, raising an incredible £9,000 last year! We feel honoured to be their chosen charity for the year ahead.

If your workplace chooses a Charity of the Year, we would love you to consider nominating 4Sight Vision Support – partnerships like this help us continue making a real difference for people living with sight loss in West Sussex.

Thank you to everyone at Richard Place Dobson – we can’t wait to see what we can achieve together!

Diabetes Week: Richard’s story

This Diabetes Week, we’re sharing the powerful story of our Vision Support Advisor, Richard, to highlight the importance of managing diabetes and protecting your sight.

Richard was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at just four years old. At 27, he lost his sight overnight due to complications from diabetic retinopathy, caused by prolonged high blood sugar levels. Following multiple surgeries, doctors were able to save the sight in one eye – but he remains blind in the other.

Richard now uses his experience to help others and raise awareness:
“For people living with diabetes – especially young people – it’s so important to make informed choices and listen to specialist advice. And I always encourage everyone to attend regular eye health checks to protect their sight.”

Stories like Richard’s remind us just how important it is to take diabetes seriously and to prioritise regular eye care.

Thank you Thursday, and what a day we had at East Preston Festival
Huge thanks to everyone who came out despite the very wet and windy weather, to support our fundraising tombola.
Meeting the other charities taking part, and the amazing locals was a highlight!
Our tombola raised £90, which will go directly to supporting people in West Sussex who are blind or partially sighted.
Can't wait to join you again next year!

Diabetes Week: Looking after your sight

This Diabetes Week (8–14 June), we’re raising awareness of the link between diabetes and sight loss – and why regular eye health checks are so important. Diabetes can affect your eyes in a number of ways, including conditions like diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to sight loss if left untreated.

That’s why it’s so important to:
• Manage your diabetes carefully
• Follow medical advice
• Attend regular eye health checks

Eye health check don’t just monitor your vision – they can also detect early signs of diabetes and related complications, helping to protect your long-term health.

By taking small steps, you can make a big difference in protecting your sight.
