Multiple’s trial donation for South Africa

Specsavers practices and businesses in Scotland have donated 20 pairs of trial frames, each worth £180, to the Optics Society in Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU).

The frames will be used during the students’ annual volunteering trip to South Africa, in the eye clinic on the Phelophepa Train of Hope. The organisation operates two trains as mobile healthcare hospitals, bringing much-needed medical services to impoverished rural areas in South Africa.

Fifty third-year students from the GCU society will spend two weeks on board the train in the eye care clinic where they will be carrying out full eye tests and screening for eye diseases.
