Lions Recycle for Sight Australia

One of our local Helensburgh projects is to collect used spectacles. We pass these on to Lions Recycle for Sight Australia, who are part of the Lions Clubs International Worldwide Eyeglass Recycling Program.

Over the 26 years that the Australian program has operated, it has delivered more than seven million pairs of refurbished quality spectacles to people in need around the world. In the past 10 years, several members of our Marine Branch have been able to use their yachts to reach remote villages and deliver spectacles to them.

If you have some old glasses you no longer need and would like to donate them to this worthy cause you can drop them off in the box at NINA’s office in Walker Street.
