Boxing Bout Victory

Story

Davedass Mootanah, a Somerset Sight Volunteer Befriender, recently competed in and won by decision in a matched boxing bout at Didcot Football Stadium, in front of around 1,400 people. After several years of training, he faced another boxer with a similar level of experience, in front of a largely local crowd supporting his opponent. He is now using the experience to raise funds for Somerset Sight. 

The Somerset Sight Befriending or Visitor Service is one of the many various services which we provide for blind and partially sighted people across Somerset.  These services rely on fundraisers like Davedass, donations and legacies/gifts in wills. 

If you would like to support Somerset Sight and Davedass please feel free.

Supporting

Somerset Sight

Discovering you are losing your sight can be a devastating blow. It can be a disorientating, scary and lonely time. The team at Somerset Sight is here to provide support at the point of diagnosis and beyond.

Across Somerset there are estimated to be 19,000 people living with visual impairment. At least one in five of those people never leave their home alone. We are an independent, self-funding local charity reaching out to sight impaired people in both the towns and villages of Somerset with a range of services and activities. We know that life doesn’t stop just because your sight has been affected. Our aim is to provide services, training and leisure activities that will help maintain independence and improve the quality of life of anyone who is affected by sight loss.
