Dear All,<\/p>\n
Vision Care for Homeless People (VCHP) is a national charity providing free NHS-regulated eye tests and glasses to those experiencing homelessness. We run fully equipped clinics across England and Scotland, including in London, Brighton, Edinburgh.<\/p>\n
Our testing rooms are set up much like a high street optician, and optometrists are fully supported by an optical team including trained assistants and a Clinic Manager.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t ask for a big commitment , volunteering just once a month can make a real impact. Travel costs are covered for all volunteers attending shifts, and we\u2019re happy to offer a video tour or arrange a visit before your first clinic. Many volunteers find the experience hugely rewarding with zero commercial pressure. For patients, receiving glasses can be a powerful step toward rebuilding their lives.<\/p>\n
