Community Fundraising

How you can help iSightCornwall as a business, organisation or community group

We are the support for people in Cornwall and Isles of Scilly who are blind or partially sighted. From the day they are diagnosed with an eye condition, we are there for people for every step of their sight loss journey. From offering emotional support; life-changing low vision aids; technology demonstrations and more – we aim to inspire life without limitations for people with sight loss.

There are many ways that your organisation can support the work that we do from simply having a collection tin on your premises to a more long-term collaboration such as charity of the year. Whatever you decide, you can be confident that all the money raised in Cornwall stays in Cornwall to provide essential services for people living with sight loss.

Invite us for a talk

We would be delighted to visit you and talk about what we do, our history and our place in Cornwall’s heritage. We regularly visit Women’s Institutes, community hubs and youth groups such as Brownies and Scouts. We can tailor the talk based on your group and what would work best for your audience. For more information, or to enquire about booking us for a talk, email us at: info@isightcornwall.org.uk or call us on 01872 261110.

Hold a fundraiser

From blindfolded wine tasting to a specially crafted bag of coffee – we’ve had some fantastic fundraising fun working with local Cornish businesses and we are always so welcoming of anyone who would like to help us. We would support your fundraising efforts with our social media accounts, website and our member magazine as well sending press releases to local newspapers and radio stations about the partnership.

Any donations raised will help us continue to support people in Cornwall who are blind or partially sighted, whether you’re a small or large organisation and whether you’re able to raise £10, £100 or even £1,000! For more information, email us at: info@isightcornwall.org.uk or call us on 01872 261110.

Choose us as your Charity of the Year

If you are looking for a charity of the year to support, we would be delighted to be considered. With roots going back to 1856 when we supported miners who lost their sight in blasting accidents, we believe we’re Cornwall’s oldest charity. All the money raised in Cornwall stays in Cornwall and with your support, we can make a real difference to the lives of blind and partially sighted people living here.

In return we support you with our social media posts, our website, and our newsletter magazine which is delivered to our members twice a year. For more information click here.

Host a Collection tin

Simply hosting one of our collections tins in your business or group can help make a difference to the lives of people living with sight loss in Cornwall. We are so grateful to everyone who hosts a tin and we will arrange drop off and collection of the tin so all you need to do is keep it on display. For more information or to request a tin, click here.
