In Lawra and Nandom, it's easy to find out your prescription at the hospital, but very difficult to get the glasses you need. So, we provide them, free of charge, to anyone who needs them. It's a tiny part of what we do from our Inclusion Centres, but makes a huge difference for hundreds of people each year.
Thank you to all of the wonderful people who donate their glasses to us, and to local opticians for testing and labelling them 👓
