Our Walking Group has a lovely day out today.

We walked from North Shields to the ferry landing and hopped on the ferry before enjoying a coffee in South Shields.

And the weather even stayed dry for us all!

Our Walking group runs fortnightly on Thursday’s from 10.30am onwards. If you’d like to join call the office on 0191 232 7292.

Happy Fun Friday! 🎉

With this heat ☀️, I think everyone here at NVS is looking forward to enjoying some time in the garden 🌳. It's going to rain! 🌧️ I hear you say 😢

So to wrap up the week, I (Sharon) am starting a Fun Fact Friday quiz. So to kick things off, here are the questions:

Question 1: Who among us was born in South Africa? 🇿🇦
Question 2: Who participated in ballroom dancing for many years? 💃🕺

Have a great weekend.

🌟 What a fantastic Newcastle Vision Support Open Day! 🌟

It was wonderful to welcome everyone along for a day of connection, conversation and support. 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, including our amazing members, volunteers, staff and supporters. It was lovely to see so many familiar faces, meet new people and share information about the support and services available through Newcastle Vision Support.

From great conversations over a cuppa ☕ to exploring equipment and technology that can help people living with sight loss, it was a brilliant day full of community spirit. 👏

Thank you to everyone who helped make the day such a success — we couldn’t do it without you! 💙
