Our impact
Good vision changes everything. It improves health, restores independence, and helps people reconnect with their communities.
At Vision Care, we work with people experiencing homelessness to make sure poor eyesight is never a barrier to safety, dignity, or opportunity. Through outreach clinics, partnerships, and education, we’re helping people see clearly—and live more confidently.
Our impact to date
Every clinic, every pair of glasses, and every conversation makes a difference. Here’s what we’ve achieved together so far.
Sight tests delivered
Spectacles provided
We provide free, accessible eye tests through clinics in hostels, day centres, and community settings across the UK. Since 2003 to the end of 2025, we have provided 20,969 eye tests.

We deliver services where people already are—working in partnership with housing, healthcare, and support organisations.
