A long journey starts with you and will benefit many. It's a case of you and them

​You – our long- and short-sighted public please do continue to find and donate your old specs that you were keeping “just in case”
Drop your old specs to any one of our local opticians.


Them – our three local opticians: - Alan Tyler in Dorridge, Bannisters Eye Care & Vision Express in Knowle collect the used specs on our behalf.

​
Us & Them – Knowle & Dorridge Lions collect, count and send your specs to our sister club in Chichester who after sorting, dispatch them for grading at the Medico France facility in Le Havre. Here they are cleaned, calibrated, labelled and bagged. Finally, they are shipped to a network of health professionals, eye clinics and dispensaries, as well as other Lions clubs around the world. Your old specs benefit adults and children in need of glasses to be able to read, study and live their lives. Thank you.  

​                                  Did you know? – Lions have been championing the cause of sight since 1925.
