Vision Care for Homeless People has paid a visit to the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers to collect a £8,000 donation.
Charity founder Harinder Paul (left) received the cheque from SMC master, Professor John Marshall, at Apothecaries' Hall. 'We are a very lean charity thanks to the tremendous generosity of the volunteer optometrists and dispensing opticians who give their time so freely.
The lens companies, glazing labs, frame providers and diagnostic technology specialists are tremendously supportive but we still have some overheads in terms of premises and this wonderful cheque goes a long way in meeting those,' said Paul.
