Summary of donations to The Torch Trust for the Blind
Mike was involved with Torch for most of it's 6o+ year history. In the early years he helped produce Braille materials and contributed computer expertise. His greatest desire was to see blind and partially sighted people encounter Jesus, so he became to be involved in Bible teaching and did this for many years. Mike was Chair of Trustees for Torch Trust at the time of his death.
