We're on the road again!! 

On November 2nd we will be heading off with Vision Aid Overseas. This time we're heading to Ethiopia where we will be training local clinical staff how to carry out eyetests and this time we're very excited as we get to do some outreach work where we will travel to some remote villages to carry out eyetests and dispense glasses.

We would really appreciate any donation you can make towards the wonderful work of Vision Aid Overseas. It would be great if you could please share our page too to help raise money and awareness. We have collection boxes in both Bandon and Wilton Specsavers stores if you'd like to pop in and make a donation, alternatively, donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity 

VAO is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) which utilises the professional skills of optical volunteers to establish Vision Centres and train eye care workers. It is dedicated to fighting poverty by transforming access to eye care and spectacles in developing countries.  

Please watch this great video from Fiona Bruce... It gives a great insight into the amazing work VAO does.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3vyJjlggHY 

Thanks a million for your support and we'll keep you all posted with updates from our fundraising efforts and the trip itself!
