Story

£2 Challenge! During isolation it's easy to feel a little low in spirits, what better way to revitalise yourself than giving back?! Your £2 can change a life. We're hoping to change the life of 50 people. Do you accept this challenge with us?!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.2 billion people. BILLION. Live with 'curable blindness' (a visual impairment) because they simply have no access to a sight test and glasses. £5 can provide a sight test & glasses. It's our aim to provide as many possibly life-changing tests and glasses with your help. Spread the word to friends & family! 

Imagine not being able to see your baby's face because you had no access to glasses? Imagine your child being a little prodigy but their sight impairing that journey? Imagine losing your sight slowly and being unable to work and provide for your family?
