SocialEYES Coordinator appointed

Sight Support Hull and East Yorkshire (HEY) is delighted to announce Wayne Johnson has joined the charity as its new SocialEYES Coordinator.

Hull born and bred Wayne is well known within the local business community from his previous positions within the paper and print industry and also has over 20 years of experience of charitable fundraising supporting local children with disabilities.

Wayne originally found out about Sight Support when his father began to lose his sight and since then has been a long standing supporter of the charity’s work including previously raised funds to sponsor our annual children’s outing to the pantomime.

Sandra Ackroyd, Chief Executive at Sight Support said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome Wayne on-board. One of the many reasons we appointed him was his enthusiasm and passion for supporting other people.”

Wayne will be overseeing Sight Support HEY’s existing leisure and activity programme which includes activities such as singing, walking, arts and crafts, tenpin bowling and regular outings to local events and attractions.

Wayne said of his appointment: “I’m looking forward to working with the amazing team at Sight Support and working closely with the service users to continue the great work that has already been done within the SocialEYES leisure and activity programme. I can’t wait to build on the existing success and hopefully encourage even more local people with sight loss to get involved.”
