Suffolk Sight is the sight-loss charity for Suffolk. 

Our purpose is to improve the lives of people affected by sight loss, throughout Suffolk. 

We work hard to provide services that are friendly and practical, and to raise awareness of the different aspects of living with sight loss. Our dedicated team are here to offer support, advice and guidance based on your individual sight loss needs. We will work closely with you for as long as you need, offering ideas and solutions to help with confidence and independence.

Whether you’re new to Suffolk Sight, or have accessed our services for many years, our team are on hand to support you with the different aspects of living with a visual impairment. 

Membership of Suffolk Sight is free and gives you access to all of the services we provide.

We are very excited to announce the first ever Suffolk Sight Firewalk - Saturday 10th October 2026

Join us for an evening full of excitement - conquer your fears and discover your inner strength! Every step will help raise funds for Suffolk Sight’s emotional support service.

Completing a firewalk is a life-affirming experience. You'll learn to conquer fear, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs. The symbolic act represents the ability to overcome any obstacle and achieve anything you set your mind to – if you can walk on fire, you can find the courage to do anything! 

You must be at least 18 years old to take part in the firewalk. Entry is £25 per person and we ask that firewalkers pledge to raise at least £50 in sponsorship for Suffolk Sight.
