We're happy to be collection point for this fantastic initiative!
If you have any old or unused glasses please drop them off, every pair helps someone in need see clearly again.
🦁🌳It’s Lions International Environment Service Week!
👓♻️Did you know that Lions across the British Isles recycle over 1.25 million pairs of spectacles every year?
💚This incredible initiative supports both the environment and global eye care—reducing waste while transforming lives.
🌍Collected glasses are carefully sorted and redistributed to people around the world who otherwise wouldn’t have access to proper vision support.
✅You can be part of this life-changing work! Lions clubs across the country provide collection points where you can donate your old or unused glasses.
👓A simple act can have a powerful impact. Check your drawers—you might already have a pair ready to help someone see clearly again.
❤️🦁🌊🕶️👓The Scarborough Lions have collection points around Scarborough for you to drop your old spectacles into. No cloths or cases please though. See comments for the locations.
Last month lion Chrissie collected 577 pairs of spectacles. So far in April she has collected 876 pairs. We also take hearing aids and their batteries.
