Raising money for

ORBIS

Charity Registration No. 1061352

There are 45 million blind people in the world. 80% of these cases are avoidable and 90% live in developing countries. A cure is often simple and inexpensive, but in the world’s poorest countries even basic medical help is frequently out of reach. ORBIS is a global charity, dedicated to preserving and restoring the sight of the poorest people in the poorest communities across the world. Through innovative programmes and partnerships, ORBIS creates long-term, lasting solutions to prevent and cure blindness worldwide.

We provide the tools, training and technology for local doctors and health care professionals to develop solutions to tackle avoidable blindness in their own countries. By building long-term capabilities in eye care institutions, ORBIS supports its partners in providing quality eye care services that are affordable, accessible and ultimately sustainable

My story

Thank you for visiting the fundraising page designed for the partners who will be abseiling off Atlantic House in Touching the Void IV: The Return of the Rope. The team were due to abseil on Friday 4 September but due to unforseen circumstances, this date was postponed. The event will now take place on Monday 26 October!!

Half of the money raised from the Touch 2009/10 campaign in London will go to ORBIS and half to the British Paralympic Association. If you would like to sponsor staff raising money for the BPA please visit their site here.

As you make your donation please feel free to specify (in the "comment" section) which Lovells member(s) from the list below you're sponsoring or sponsor the whole team!!!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor the team: ORBIS gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor the team now!
