The Lions Recycle for Sight programme continues to gain momentum on the New South Wales Central Coast. Recently, the team from Simplicity delivered an impressive 700 pairs of glasses to the Lions, and currently have over 30 businesses on the coast supporting them with glasses boxes.
The Recycle for Sight programme collects used glasses for disadvantaged adults and children in developing countries.
“Poor vision can have a huge impact on an individual’s quality of life and wellbeing,” says Simplicity Funerals Area Manager Alan McLean.
“Corrected vision can help children perform better in school and avoid developmental delays and learning disabilities.
“For adults, it could mean the difference between successfully supporting their family, instead of being unable to meet their basic needs,” he said.
A huge thank you to all the Central Coast residents and businesses who were able to help out. Donations of prescription glasses with either plastic or metal frames are always welcome as Simplicity continues to support this worthwhile cause.
