Charity Freebies: Old spectacles/Glasses

Old glasses? Spectacles? Don't throw them out -

There are charitys which can recycle them

World in Site Appeal - This is run by Help the Aged - glasses are sent to older people in developing countries

Vision Aid Overseas -
Pack them in a sturdy cardboard box clearly marked with the address:
VISION AID OVERSEAS
12 The Bell Centre
Newton Road,
Manor Royal,
Crawley,
West Sussex
RH10 9FZ
enclosing a compliments slip (so that they know who to thank).

Or find an optician's practice which helps VAO (and most do).
Hand the box to the optician who will then pass it to the specialist optical courier (HAYS DX). The vans from HAYS DX visit most opticians several times per week to deliver goods and they will transport boxes of second-hand spectacles to us free of charge, and free of paperwork. (Note: Securicor Omega Express helps in the same way in Eire).
