You could wear your brightest t-shirt, your most outrageous outfit, or even a colourful hairdo. Bright 4 Sight coincides with World Sight Day taking place on 10th October 2013

To Raise money, you could try these FUN activites in your bright clothes.......

Guiding Challenge
Do a sponsored blindfolded obstacle challenge or sponsored blindfolded walk around your school or office. Get into pairs and take it in turns for one of you to be blindfolded and guided by your partner. You could try doing this around some obstacles or draw a picture from the description your partner gives.

Jam Sandwich Challenge
Have you every tried making a jam sandwich wearing a blindfold? Try it by yourself or ask a friend to tell you what to do. This shows how day-to-day activities are more challenging when you can not see.

Where your money goes

Money you raise will go directly towards supporting people in Wiltshire with visual impairment. As an independent charity the Wiltshire Blind Association receives no core funding so we need to raise money through fundraising activities.

Paying in your money

Send a cheque or postal order, made payable to Wiltshire Blind Association, to the Wiltshire Blind Association, St Lucy’s, I Commercial Road, Devizes, Wiltshire SN10 1EH.

Get your sponsors to tick the Gift Aid box and fill in their details on your sponsorship form before you send it in. That way, we’ll get an extra 28p from the government for every £1 you raise. So your hard work goes even further!

You can take part in lots of other ways:

GET SPONSORED!

You can get sponsored to do all kinds of fun things – a sponsored silence or give up something you really love – like chocolate!

The possibilities are endless and you’ll be amazed how many friends and members of your family will sponsor you when it’s for a good cause. If you need a sponsor form call us on 01380 723682

GET BAKING!

Everyone loves freshly baked, homemade buns and biscuits, so cake bakes always raise lots of money. Why not get baking and sell your produce to your friends and family?

ANY OLD CHANGE!

Why not donate your coppers to the Wiltshire Blind Association? Small change can make a big difference so empty your pockets, clear your purses and search under furniture and down the back of the sofa for all your 1p and 2p pieces!

These are just a handful of ideas – think of your own, but be sensible!
