Stepper steps up again for homeless clinic

STEPPER EYEWEAR is generously supporting the Leeds Vision Care for Homeless People clinic with a donation of more than £7,000, announced on World Homeless Day (10th October).

It follows Stepper’s generous financing of the Manchester clinic last year.

By consolidating its charitable giving the well-respected frame company is making a tangible difference to some of the most vulnerable people in the UK.

Peter Reeve, Managing Director of the eyewear company visited the clinic within St Georges’ Crypt in Leeds last week and saw at first hand the valuable work which VCHP carries out at all of its regional clinics. He explained, “Once again, we have decided to focus our charitable support in the direction of VCHP, where it can make a real difference for the next 12 months. The VCHP clinics are very well equipped and provide a professional service with a great team and we are delighted to be associated with them.”

Elaine Styles, Chair of Vision Care for Homeless People paised the support. “This donation will make a real difference for so many people and is very symbolic as it came on World Homeless Day and just before World Sight day on 14th October. We are especially grateful that these issues are being highlighted by STEPPER EYEWEAR’s support.”
She added –
“Our qualified volunteer network is the backbone of our service, but we still need financial donations to keep the service running. We are hugely grateful to all of our supporters – our work can be truly transforming for some vulnerable lives. Being able to see well can be the much needed first step to removing the barriers and helping to re-build lives.”
