How being a Sooty Box collector can change lives
Finding out you're about to lose your sight can be a big shock, but due to a lack of sight loss advisors in the UK, those who are given this news are often left to digest the information alone.
We're hoping to be there for all those who discover they're about to lose their sight; providing advice, emotional support and guidance as to what to do next.
By becoming a Sooty Box collector, you'll ensure we can continue to provide these invaluable services.
Sooty and RNIB are old friends
Sooty is one of Britain’s best loved bears and actually holds a Guinness World Record for the longest running UK children’s show.
RNIB has been very lucky to have a relationship with Sooty that dates back to 1960 and we are thrilled that he continues to be our fantastic friend.
The Sooty Effect
Gerry is RNIB's most prolific collector and placer of Sooty collection boxes, bringing in around £30,000 annually!
