David has been volunteering with Sight Life for over 40 years, giving his time, energy and support to countless members, events and fundraising activities along the way.

When we asked him why he never misses the Summer Ball, he simply said:

"The entertainment is wonderful and I always have a lovely evening."

Sometimes, that's all that needs to be said.

We'd love you to come along and enjoy a lovely evening with us too.
