Optical Express has invited its staff to donate between one hour and a full day’s pay from their salaries as part of a Christmas charity appeal.
The multiple announced this week it would match the donations to support vision charity Sightsavers.
David Moulsdale, chairman and CEO at Optical Express, said: ‘We are very proud to support the Sightsavers Christmas appeal again this year. The money raised will provide life-changing operations for people across the world. The impact that having good vision has can’t be underestimated, particularly in developing countries.’
Mike Straney, director of Major Giving at Sightsavers, added: ‘The ongoing support from staff at Optical Express is absolutely fantastic. The kind donations are helping Sightsavers treat people who are blind from cataracts living in the poorest parts of the world, where accessing the surgery they need is not simple. Giving the gift of sight changes people’s lives, and we look forward to changing more lives this year thanks to Optical Express.’
