What is Go Bright for Bradbury?

Wear something bright. Bring £1. Support Bradbury Fields.

Go Bright for Bradbury is a fun and simple fundraising day for schools, nurseries and youth groups.

Pupils, teachers and staff are invited to wear something bright, bring a £1 donation and help raise vital funds for Bradbury Fields, a local charity supporting blind and partially sighted people across the local community.

Your Go Bright Day can take place at any time to suit your school calendar.

It is an easy way to bring your school community together while helping students learn more about sight loss, visual impairment and inclusion.

To register your interest or find out more, please email fundraising@bradburyfields.org.uk

Why take part?

A Go Bright Day is a simple and engaging way to:

Support a vital local charity

Develop students’ awareness of sight loss and visual impairment

Encourage empathy, inclusion and understanding

Bring your whole school community together

Help local blind and partially sighted people

Give pupils, teachers and staff a fun reason to wear something bright

Every £1 raised helps Bradbury Fields continue supporting people living with sight loss in the local community.

 

 

Key facts about sight loss:

  • Visual impairment affects people of all ages
  • Not everyone living with sight loss is completely blind
  • Some eye conditions affect central vision, while others affect peripheral vision
  • Sight loss can affect mobility, education, employment, and independence
  • Small changes in awareness and accessibility can make a huge difference

More than a fundraising day

Go Bright is not just about wearing bright colours. It also gives pupils the chance to learn more about visual impairment and the importance of creating a more accessible and inclusive community.

Bradbury Fields may be able to visit your school to deliver an age-appropriate assembly or awareness session before your Go Bright Day.

This could include:

An introduction to sight loss and visual impairment

Videos about living with sight loss

Information about white canes and how they are used

Information about Guide Dogs

Stories and insights from volunteers or people with lived experience

An introduction to the work of Bradbury Fields

Sessions can be tailored for nursery, primary or secondary-aged pupils.

We may also be able to invite school ambassadors, charity committees or selected student groups to visit the Bradbury Fields Centre to learn more about our work.
