Our Corporate Supporters

We are extremely grateful for the support we receive from companies, largely in optics, who have joined us in championing eye care for people experiencing homelessness by donating supplies, equipment and services in support of the delivery of our eyecare services – or who partner with us and provide vital funding through sponsorship, financial donations and fundraising. 

Our partnership with Specsavers

Specsavers is a vital partner in helping Vision Care make eye care more accessible for people experiencing homelessness.

Through financial support, donated frames and lenses, volunteer expertise, and shared commitment across the optical sector, Specsavers helps us reach more people with the sight tests, glasses, and follow-up care they need.

Together, we are working to remove barriers to eye care and ensure that people who are often excluded from mainstream services can access professional, person-centred support.
