A South Lakes charity is amongst those getting a share of £1.8million of Lottery funding in the North West.
The Big Lottery fund's awarded nearly £7,000 to Sight Advice South Lakes.
It'll be used for an awareness project to educate people in Kendal about the needs of the visually impaired; as well as the importance of looking after your own eyes.
Lyn Cole, Big Lottery Fund, England Grant Making Director, said: “It’s great to see so many inspirational projects being funded this month, whether it's providing positive opportunities for young people at risk of crime, raising health awareness for vulnerable women during pregnancy, or improving the lives of visually impaired people. They are all excellent examples of people working together, often as volunteers, to support others in their community to build on the skills they have and reach their potential.”
