Listening and responding to people affected by sight loss in the west of Scotland

Join us for the Great Scottish Run

2010 - Great Scottish Run - Sunday 5th September

A HUGE thank you to everyone who turned out for Visibility on 5th September.  The conditions were great, the atmosphere was great, and, most of all, every single member of team Visibility was great! 

This was our second year at the Great Scottish Run and we loved every minute of it.  Not only did everybody have the enormous satisfaction of crossing the finish line, but they did so knowing that all their efforts were raising money for such a worthwhile cause.  Have a look at our photo gallery .  We rely on donations to keep our work alive, and taking part in a wonderful day like this is a great way of raising the funds we need.

If you would like to help us by taking part in a walking cycling or running event whilst proudly wearing a team Visibility vest, please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.  Just call the fundraising team on 0141 332 4632 or email info@visibility.org.uk

Great Scottish Run - Visibility – 150th Birthday – 150 Runner Challenge - 2009

Andrew Agnew AKA PC Plum with Visibility Runners

PC Plum from the BBC children’s show Balamory popped into our offices recently. The PC, otherwise known as actor Andrew Agnew, is helping us in our quest to get 150 people signed up for this year’s Great Scottish Run on 6th September.

Ronnie and Holly

He met with some of our signed up runners including Holly Small aged 9 who is our youngest runner, and Ronnie Anderson aged 76 our eldest. To celebrate our 150 birthday we are looking for 150 runners, walkers or joggers  to take part .  In these difficult financial times, we are not asking people to raise a target sponsorship, all we ask is that you proudly take to the field wearing a Visibility vest and raise whatever you can to support our work.

James Semple who is running the 10K

James Semple is one of another of our runners, James who has Retinitis Pigmentosa wanted to run for us because he has been lucky enough to benefit from our services - James says "I'm running to raise funds for Visibility because there is no-one else around here that provides anything like the services they do and also to help them with their research into new ways of helping people".

Please came along and join Holly, Ronnie and James to help give people affected by sight loss access to the services, information and assistance they need.

Visibility is constantly looking out for new ways of doing things that will enable visually impaired people to live the lives of their choice. We have pioneered techniques such as echolocation and eccentric reading in Scotland, and the inspirational people we work with have gone on to overcome incredible adversity to lead successful, fulfilling lives.

By making a donation, you can help us continue to seek out new techniques, aids and equipment which will enable blind and partially sighted people to break down barriers and take more control of their lives.
