We are truly saddened to have to inform the directors, members and friends of Walsall Eyes of the passing of our long time contributor and supporter, Cliff Warrender.

After a long period of ill health, Cliff passed away at the age of 95, on Saturday 18th October 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Just to clarify, our meetings are held at:

Hawley House,
11 Hatherton Road,

Details of our upcoming meetings can be found on our Events Page.

We'd like to apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for spotting the mistake.

We are very sad to share the news of the death of Reg Cole, one of our earliest and longest-standing members, who passed away on 9th July 2025 at the age of 86.

Reg was part of the group from its earliest days, when we were still growing and applying to become a charity. He worked for Age Concern and Walsall Council for many years and was an honest, forthright, and passionate advocate for the rights and advancement of people with a visual impairment.

Walsall Council has approved plans to introduce weekly food waste collections for all households. Each home will receive a small kitchen caddy for everyday use and a larger kerbside caddy, which will be emptied once a week. For homes with communal bins, the service will work slightly differently, but collections will still take place weekly.

At Walsall Eyes, we are delighted to celebrate the wonderful efforts of one of our newest members, Paige Edwards, who has gone above and beyond in raising vital funds to support people living with sight loss in the Walsall Area.

Paige, alongside her family and the brilliant team at the Black Country Arms in Walsall Town Centre, organised a fantastic Easter Hamper Raffle in aid of Walsall Eyes. Over the past few weeks, Paige and her family worked tirelessly to sell raffle tickets, spreading the word and generating an incredible amount of support from the local community.
