Story

By joining our St Paul's Team for the Liverpool Chester Bike Ride you will be giving someone the gift of sight.

There are currently 2.5 million people in the UK living with sight loss; every six minutes someone is told they are going blind. This figure is expected to grow to 3.5 million by 2050; and yet our services are already struggling with the ever increasing demands as our population ages.

A recent report looking into the impact of sight loss found that

2 in 5 people of those that responded experienced anxiety and depression they related to their sight loss.

1 in 4 said their sight loss has a negative impact on their personal relationships.

1 in 3 people were struggling financially.

The quality of life for people affected with severe sight loss was lower than those affected by diabetes, hearing loss, depression and even breast cancer.

Please scroll down and join #TeamStPauls and help people affected by sight loss now and into the future.

Thank you
