ABDO College fundraises for Vision Care for Homeless People

Students and staff at the Association of British Dispensing Opticians (ABDO) College hosted a Decathlon to raise money for Vision Care for Homeless People (VCHP).

Four teams made up of staff and students participated in events such as an egg and spoon race, tug of war and a wet sponge relay.

The event raised £2,846 for the charity by charging for entry tickets, which included a raffle ticket, food and drink and from donations by optical industry sponsors.

Chair of VCHP Elaine Styles said: ‘We all appreciate the time, effort and energy Mark and his team at ABDO devoted to organising this event and want to say a big thank you to our sponsors for their generous the ongoing support.’
