FOREIGN COINS  

Thank you to everyone who responded to our appeal for unwanted foreign coins. This year we have raised £180.13. This is an ongoing campaign, so if you return from holiday and find the odd coin lurking in your pocket

Why not donate them to Bury Blind Society?   

We have found a way of turning unwanted coins into funds that help us to support local visually impaired people. If you would like to help and have some coins to donate, please drop them in to our Sight Loss Centre at 4 Tenterden Street, Bury or call us on 0161 763 7014 and we could arrange to collect them.
