Everyone at Newcastle Vision Support is deeply saddened by the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to The Royal Family.

Newcastle Vision Support will be closed on the day of the state funeral (Monday 19th September) as a mark of respect and to allow our staff and service users to pay their respects.

A one of our fantastic volunteers Richard Davies’, son, Nathan Davies, is completing a solo, non-supported ultramarathon to raise money for Newcastle Vision Support.

Nathan’s will be running 55km (34.1 miles) on Saturday 17th September 2022 around his local area.

He is asking you to sponsor him so that Newcastle Vison Support can continue our vital work, helping and supporting those who are visually impaired.
