Vision Care for Homeless People’s 21st celebration is fast approaching with volunteers looking to step up the service, and 100% is the time to find out more about becoming involved in your area.
More than 18,000 people have been helped to better vision through the regional drop-in clinics, which run thanks to a host of volunteers and generous donors from the optical community.
Supporters and donors from the supply chain, technology providers, IT companies, and frame and lens companies are set to play a part in opening up new clinics around the UK.
Elaine Styles, Chair of the charity and one of the founder optometrists, is pleased to report that the current eight clinics will be growing to 24 within the near future. Speaking from the heart, Elaine urged others to get involved: “Our humble beginnings and shared vision to provide eye care for homeless and vulnerable people in the UK has grown beyond our wildest dreams. Our deepest gratitude goes to the countless volunteers and supporters who have selflessly dedicated their time, skills, and resources to this noble cause. Each has played an indispensable role in transforming the lives of those in need.
“We have ambitious plans and by giving homeless people the gift of sight, we can open new windows of opportunity, allowing them to envision a brighter future. Our collaboration with Specsavers and our other valued supporters in optics will enable us to open doors to new opportunities to transform the lives of those in need. Come and join us and get involved.” www.visioncarecharity.org
