Jivers and Lindy Hoppers sprung into step, raising more than £1,000 for young individuals in Norfolk suffering sight loss.

Almost 100 dancers flocked to Wreningham Village Hall for a charity tea dance, coordinated by Swingymabob.

Proceeds from ticket sales, partnered with additional donations from attendees, went to Vision Norfolk’s Children, Young people and Families programme.

Guest of honour was seven-year-old Rhiannon Kay from Alpington, who has been part of the Vision Norfolk programme all her life.

Rhiannon has aniridia, which means she has no irises, as well as nystagmus, which causes 'involuntary wobbling'.

Even with her limited visual abilities, Rhiannon did not let it hinder her from expressing gratitude to the dancers directly and even joining them on the dancefloor.

Families co-ordinator at Vision Norfolk, Josh Bartholomew, said: “The support we provide for vision impaired young people and their families is a vital part what we do.

“Putting on the activities and providing that support is entirely dependent on the generosity of people in Norfolk, and we are extremely grateful to Swingymabob and everyone who took part in the tea dance and helped raise such a magnificent sum.”
