Charity
Surrey Association for Visual Impirment (SAVI) is committed to working with blind and partially sighted people in Surrey, and to provide services so they may lead fuller, more independent lives. Across Surrey there are some 6,000 people who are visually impaired and known to SAVI. It’s highly likely that at least double that number need our help and support today. At SAVI we continue to work hard to ensure that all visually impaired people in Surrey are well provided for through: Professional rehabilitation and low vision services. Well stocked Resource Centre providing equipment and professional advice. Children and adult recreation Computer training Home visiting and phone friends Communication classes Benefits advice Outreach workers Transcription services Newsletters and specialist information Training and raising awareness of sensory disability. SAVI has a great team of professional staff and volunteers who are dedicated to working to ensure that visually impaired people may live fuller and more independent lives.

Larraine is running a Marathon again!
Hi, thanks for visiting my page.
Many people have asked me why I have chosen to do the Brighton Marathon on SAVI's behalf. Well, I am deaf and blind myself and with out SAVI's help I wouldn't be able to function as a normal independent human being.
I have to face many challenges due to my double disability, but with SAVI supplying me with a Communicator Guide, I can face the world with new hope and security.
I don't just want help for myself, I want the help to be there for other people with similar disabilities as well. But of course SAVI can only provide this wonderful service to me and others like me by receiving financial donations.
I will except the immense challenge of doing the Brighton Marathon in the hope that others will except the challenge of donating to a wonderful charity like SAVI.
I don't just want to take from the charity, its important to me to put some thing back!
