The stores stock a fabulous collection of preloved clothes, accessories, and homeware. The team at our Enniskillen store was joined by Julie Silvestri from Queens University Belfast, which will receive funding from ForSight for research into sight loss conditions.

To match the ambition to help as many people in Northern Ireland who are blind or vision impaired as possible, ForSight will soon be arriving here in the city and the hope is that members of the local community will become involved in all aspects of the operation.

ForSight is currently recruiting for a store manager, full time, a sales assistant who can work 16 hours and also for volunteers

A spokesperson for ForSight said: “The innovative and modern design in ForSight stores will continue to challenge the perception of how a charity shop is or should be.

Sustainability through sale of pre-loved items is a huge part of what ForSight does and will continue to do into the future. As always, all donations of quality clothing, accessories and homewares are welcome at all stores.”
