Optometry Giving Sight is encouraging practitioners to sign up to its Practice Giving Programme at Optrafair.
The concept behind the programme is for participating practices to raise funds for the charity and invite their patients to match their contribution.
Under the scheme, practices may ask patients to make a small donation which they match, donate an agreed amount from sales or hold special promotions. The programme is designed to raise the profile of optometry in local communities while directly benefiting people in developing countries without access to eye care.
OGS has produced a range of materials to assist practices. The charity will be joined at Optrafair by the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, Sightsavers International and Christian Blind Mission. Contact OGS on: 020 7202 8168
