“Now, supporters from two of my previous clubs are coming together to help support the cause, so I was really excited to meet them before they set off and wished them well.” The charity was only registered last year but has since recruited 19 volunteers and supports 52 people with sight problems. Josh said: “We started a community support group during lockdown and quickly realised there was a much higher need for help than we were anticipating."
