Colin Daniels
Colin joined us in 2023
I have worked for national sight loss organisations for over 15 years. I worked for Action for Blind People as a welfare rights officer and supported blind and partially sighted people to find sustainable employment. I currently work for the Macular Society where I have developed and run the Society’s Working Age and Young Peoples’ Service.
I live with Stargardt Disease and am registered as SSI. I feel that my lived experience gives me a great insight in how to develop services for blind and partially sighted people. The services I set up are what people with sight loss tell me they want.
I wanted to become a trustee for Support 4 Sight so I can assist the charity to create and develop services for the people of Essex. I look forward to supporting the charity with my skills and knowledge of the sector and the people in it.

Clive Farley
Clive joined us in 2023
I first became aware of Support 4 Sight when experiencing my own eye condition 30 years ago and I found comfort in knowing there were organisations who were available to help and provide support.
When I retired, I began volunteering and have found it incredibly rewarding to be a part of a community and helping those in need.
Before retiring, I spent 30 years working in the advertising and design industry. It is this range of skills and experience that I bring to the charity.
