Our amazing Firewalkers have raised an incredible £6,000! 

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who took part in our Firewalk on 10 October to raise money for Suffolk Sight.
Walking across hot coals takes courage, determination and a willingness to face your fears - our fantastic Firewalkers certainly did just that.
Tying in with World Mental Health Day, the event was a powerful reminder of the importance of mental wellbeing, facing challenges and having the right support when life feels difficult.
The incredible £6,000 raised will fund 120 counselling sessions, helping our beneficiaries to access valuable emotional support as they navigate the challenges that sight loss can bring.
We are so proud of every single person who took on this challenge.
