🎨 TRANSPARENCY — AN INSTALLATION BY ANNIE TAPPENDEN

What does it mean to be seen?

This Saturday, as part of our fundraising morning at Simmons Optometrists, local artist Annie Tappenden is bringing her thought-provoking Transparency installation to the practice.

Annie says:
“Every time I turned on the daily news, the word most constantly used was TRANSPARENCY, which could be perceived as a political term or a personal one.”

The idea of transparency can be political, personal and surprisingly complicated.

Annie's work invites us to think about visibility, identity and what it means to feel seen.

That's particularly relevant to our fundraising for the High Performance Foundation. Game Plan is designed to give young people practical tools to develop confidence, resilience, wellbeing and the skills they need to navigate what comes next.

We're aiming to raise £1,000 to help bring those resources into a local secondary school. ❤️

So come and see Annie's installation for yourself on Saturday.

There'll also be:
🎂 Cake & sweets
🎟️ Charity raffle
⚽ Gianni Butticè, FPL expert, from around 9.15am
🎁 Fantastic raffle prizes donated by local businesses
📅 Saturday 19 September
⏰ 9am–1pm
📍 Simmons Optometrists, 23 Burley Road, Oakham
🎟️ Raffle tickets are £3 for a strip of 5
🏆 Draw: Tuesday 29 September

You can buy raffle tickets from reception or online:
