ON behalf of The Board of Directors, staff and members of Bury Society for the Blind and Partially Sighted, I wish to take this opportunity to thank the public of Bury for their continued generous support on our collection days throughout the year.

I would also like to thank the many Bury based companies who also lend their generous support in so many varied ways, from allowing the society to have collection points, to donations to improve our resource centre on Bolton Street, Bury.

As a charity, this support helps us to achieve our aim which is to enhance the lives of our members with visual impairment.

We are also extremely grateful to our many volunteers, whose help is invaluable to our service.

Bury Society for the Blind and Partially Sighted hopes readers had a very happy Christmas and wishes them a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.

We do need and appreciate your continued support.

COUNCILLOR YVONNE WRIGHT

Chairman of Bury Society for the Blind and Partially Sighted
