Giving the gift of sight...

At Chepstow and Caldicot Lions, we are passionate about serving our community and making a positive impact globally. One of our most heartfelt initiatives is our spectacles recycling programme. Through this project, we collect used and unwanted glasses, which are then refurbished and distributed to those in need around the world. This not only helps improve the vision of countless individuals but also fosters a sense of connection and care within our community.

Meet Lion Cobi: Our Newest Champion for Vision

We are thrilled to introduce one of our newest members, Lion Cobi, who has already made significant strides in our spectacles recycling initiative. Recently, Lion Cobi collected a substantial box of donated glasses from a local optician, showcasing the tremendous support and generosity of our community. His dedication and enthusiasm is inspiring, and we are excited to see the positive impact he will continue to make.

Why Recycle Your Spectacles?

Many of us have old pairs of glasses tucked away in drawers, forgotten once we’ve moved on to a new prescription. However, these unused spectacles can change lives. By donating your old glasses, you help provide clear vision to those who might not otherwise afford it. Good vision is crucial for daily life, education, and work. Your contribution can empower individuals, improve their quality of life, and open up new opportunities.

How Can You Help?

It's simple to get involved in our spectacles recycling programme:

1. Gather your old spectacles: Check your home for any glasses that are no longer in use, including prescription glasses, reading glasses, and even sunglasses.

2. Visit our drop-off points: Bring your spectacles to any of our designated drop-off locations, such as local opticians, chemists, doctors surgeries, libraries, or community centres.

3. Spread the word: Encourage friends, family, and colleagues to participate in this meaningful initiative. The more glasses we collect, the more lives we can change.

We invite you to be part of this incredible journey of giving the gift of sight. Visit our webpage for spectacles recycling to learn more about the project.
