News from Support 4 Sight Chelmsford Coffee Afternoon Support 4 volunteer Graham Hawkes has worked very hard and been instrumental in helping to launch this very successful social event. Graham reports the following: Chelmsford coffee afternoon started in November last year; we “Our had an amazing launch event which saw around 30 to 35 people in attendance. The coffee afternoon was officially opened by councillor Sandra Pontin. We also had some other notable guests from the Chelmsford visually impired community such as Pat Wilson (Chelmsford Talking Newspaper) and Margaret Perrin (Secretary of the Day Centre for the Blind). We also had a photographer from the Essex Chronicle taking pictures. We had our Christmas party in December, when we had over 20 people who enjoyed the sandwiches and party nibbles, washed down with prosecco, bucks fizz or fruit juice. It was pleasing to see 18 people at our first regular event, which for a fairly cold January afternoon was still a very good attendance. We are looking forward to upcoming events with the anticipation that things carry on in the same positive manner that they have started, and hopefully raise even more interest in the months to come.” Claire’s half-marathon The amazing Claire Hopkins, daughter of volunteer Tony Treglown, completed the Cambridge Half Marathon on 28 February in 1 hour 39 minutes. We are very grateful to Claire who raised around £750 for Support 4 you, Claire!
