During the month of May Specsavers Santa Ponça and Calvia Lions Club are running ‘Recycle for Sight Month’, a campaign to collect unwanted glasses across their local schools. The Lions Club is best known for fighting blindness worldwide and sends around 70,000 pairs of glasses to the Third World each year, every one donated and hand selected for specific people in need. They also help local Spanish residents in need through various fundraising events and projects.
The collaboration between Specsavers Santa Ponça and the Lions Club started during the Christmas period last year and they have already donated over 100 pairs of glasses. They were also able to help closer to home by supporting a local lady unable to afford glasses to help her see better.
