WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
What do you do with donated spectacles?
All the specs you send us are sorted by a team of volunteers in our recycling centres. They are then graded and shipped to many countries around the world where they are needed.
Spectacles that cannot be reused are recycled to enable us to give financial support to eye related projects in the UK and overseas.
Where do you send spectacles?
We have shipped spectacles directly to known contacts undertaking eye clinics in Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Ghana, Nigeria and Nepal. We support volunteers from the 'Unite for Sight' charity with a supply of spectacles to take with them on missions to countries across the world.
