Raising money for

Vision Aid Overseas

Charity Registration No. 1081695

Vision Aid Overseas is a charity dedicated to people in the developing world whose lives are blighted by poor eyesight. 300 million people world wide need spectacles to live an ordinary life, but do not have them due to poverty and the lack of optical services. The World Health Organisation has acknowledged this as the leading cause of avoidable visual impairment. Many people who are functionally blind simply need spectacles to see. Without them children fail at school, mothers and fathers have to stop working and elderly people are forced to live without dignity. The consequences for individuals and their communities can be devastating.

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
