Vision Care for Homeless People celebrated 20 years of providing better vision through regional drop-in clinics at an event in London last week.

Guests gathered on the 36^th Floor of Sales Force Tower in the City to celebrate supporting more than 18,000 homeless people over the past two decades.

Supporters from the optical chain, technology providers, university representatives, optical organisations and charities joined to celebrate improving access to eye care and also promoting advocacy and pushing for change.

Elaine Styles, Chair of the charity and one of the founder optometrists, told guests that the number of regional clinics will increase from seven to 24 in the near future.
