The Right to Sight
We envision a future where no one is denied the right to sight because of their housing status. Vision affects confidence, safety, opportunity and independence. That’s why we bring free eyecare directly to people affected by homelessness – and why we need you to stand with us.
Because vision changes everything
Vision Care relies on a community of supporters to deliver life-changing eye care. Get involved by volunteering in our clinics, fundraising locally, joining our education and awareness sessions or by campaigning with us.
We need optometrists and dispensing opticians to help deliver our eyecare services. There are also clinic roles for those without an optical training.
Join us in championing the right to sight for all people experiencing homelessness by fundraising to support our work. From cake sales or community quizzes to sponsored challenges, as an individual, with friends, in your community or workplace, there are plenty of ways that you can help by raising much-needed funds.
Grace has been leading on Mondottica’s Charity of the Year partnership with Vision Care. Mondottica Group chose Vision Care as their charity partner from 2025, involving staff in fundraising initiatives across its business and fashion brand partners throughout the year to raise funds and the profile of the Vision Care charity. The funds raised, which included some match funding from their Head Office, have helped fund the Vision Care Clinic in London. Mondottica have pledged to continue the partnership for a second year.
‘At Mondottica, we are proud to support Vision Care’s vital mission to tackle inequalities in eyecare and provide free eye tests and glasses for people affected by homelessness’
'..it was great to be a part of raising so much money for a wonderful cause’
'I really enjoyed taking part in the Optoversity Challenge and raising money for such a worthy cause was so rewarding. It was such a great experience where I learnt a lot too'
‘My Team and I participated in the 10th Anniversary Out of the Box Optics Optoversity Challenge in the south by Vision Care. We (Cardiff) competed with university students from Dublin, UWE, ARU and Huddersfield. It was a rewarding experience to learn skills and meet students from all over the UK who share the same passion in optometry.’
‘The (OSCE) stations were a great opportunity to apply knowledge in a practical, low-pressure setting … we also had the chance to attend a career panel discussion, where we could ask questions about individual career paths. I found the conversations around volunteering abroad, different pathways within optometry, and the future of myopia management particularly fascinating.’
If the time is right for you to remember a charity in your Will, please think of us.
If you’d like to leave a gift in your will to help bring about a future where no one is denied the right to sight because of their housing, please get in touch. Legacy giving can be transformative for small charities – and a meaningful way for supporters to be involved in our mission, because vision changes everything. Did you know a gift of even 1 % to help support our work means those closest to you inherit the remaining 99%. The only information your adviser needs to include us in your Will is our registered charity name & number.
