The world’s biggest pub quiz: Pubaid

Did you know that pubs raise over £100m every year for charities? PubAid is encouraging pubs, bars and clubs to take part again in March 2019. They can raise money for whichever charity they choose, so let’s get them fundraising for the Nystagmus Network.

To help us get a share of the funds, please ask your local publican to register for the quiz.

Our advent calendar of Christmas gifts

Throughout December the Nystagmus Network will be reminding everyone just how many wonderful gifts of support and information the charity has to offer, not just at Christmas, but throughout the year.

Each day a new gift will pop up in your nystagmus advent calendar on our blog, on Facebook and on Twitter. Please share these with your friends, family and colleagues and ask them to give just a little back this Christmas if they can.

Please also share our Nystagmus is … this Christmas messages.

Thank you for your support

Welcome to our honorary members

On Giving Tuesday, to say thank you and as a mark of our appreciation of their support, we’ve invited our top 20 fundraisers of 2018, who were not already members, to join the Nystagmus Network as members in 2019.

Are you one of the chosen ones?

We are delighted that they have agreed to accept. Here’s what our new alumni have been saying:

“I am honoured to be an honorary member.”

“This has absolutely made my day and I’m so very honoured to be thought of.”

“That is wonderfully kind. I would love to get closer to your great work.”

“I think it’s so important to get together, share ideas and discuss experiences, especially for parents of children with nystagmus.”

You can join as a member, too. Please click here.

Giving Tuesday is here

Why not take the opportunity today to show the charity closest to your heart just how much you care? All donations are gratefully received, especially today, but there are lots of other ways you can lend the Nystagmus Network your support, too:

Those are just some of the ways we’d love you to support us. Thank you for stopping by and showing us your support on Giving Tuesday.
