Raising money for

Vision Aid Overseas

Charity Registration No. 1081695

Vision Aid Overseas aims to transform access to quality eyecare in developing countries. Over 500 million people worldwide are unnecessarily visually impaired because they do not have spectacles. This is due to the significant lack of eyecare services available in low and middle income countries. For people affected the consequences can be disadvantage and disability. Our vision is a world in which everyone has access to eyecare and spectacles.

Vision Aid Overseas develops sustainable eyecare services that ensure an impact for our patients:

* We establish International Vision Centres where high quality spectacles can be manufactured and sold at an affordable price following a thorough eye examination.

* We train healthcare workers in practical eye testing and vision health skills that equips them to work as primary eyecare workers in their local communities.

* We utilize the expertise of UK optical professionals who develop outreach services in areas away from existing facilities and who undertake teaching programmes across the developing world.

Our work is focused on improving the lives of people who are marginalised by poor eyesight and motivated by our belief that good vision should be a right for all, not just those who can afford it.

My story

THANKS FOR PLAYING IN AND SUPPORTING THE 2008 VAO CHARITY GOLF DAY!

Thanks to all the players and helpers on the day and the Tytherington Club who were great hosts! We are just adding up the monies raised in the next couple of days and will update the total. All monies go to VAO minus the fees we need to pay the Tytherington Club. No donated monies were spent on organising the event. We did it in our own spare time :)

VAO works by sending abroad teams of volunteer optomerists and dispensing opticians. VAO also collects unwanted glasses in the UK, cleans them up and then sends them overseas so that people can use them to get back to work, back to school and looking after their families.

If you would like to organise a collection of unwanted glasses amongst friends or work colleagues please contact VAO. See www.vao.org.uk

If you would like to donate you still can at this website!

We can also claim the tax back on your behalf to give to VAO if you are a UK taxpayer at no cost to you.

Thanks again
