Senior Fundraising Manager, James Clarke, said: “Retina UK Day is a fantastic opportunity for the people of Buckingham to come together to support a charity that was founded right here and to give back to those who are living with inherited sight loss.

"Whether it’s a bake sale, a football tournament, a non-uniform day, a fitness challenge or something else, whatever you can do to spread the word about Retina UK and support our vital work would be hugely appreciated.”
