All of the businesses we have thanked

We would also like to thank the following

Our supporters who generously left us a gift in their will or gave gifts in memory of a loved one. 

The community groups and individuals who have collected, baked, hosted local events and fundraised for us. 

Our challenge eventers who ran, hiked, wheeled and completed virtual challenges to support us. 

Our generous and loyal supporters who regularly donate funds and their time through volunteering, so that SeeAbility can create more opportunities for people with learning disabilities, autism, and sight loss to live, love, thrive and belong. 

We also extend our most grateful thanks to those individuals, trusts and companies who have supported our work this year and who wish to remain anonymous.
