a. Vision Aid Overseas
b.https://www.vao.org.uk
c.helping people in the developing world whose lives are blighted by poor eyesight, particularly where spectacles can help.
d.Why is Vision Aid Overseas needed?
Poverty and the lack of skilled opticians affect millions of people who do not have the spectacles they desperately need. For those in the developing world with poor vision, education and employment are out of reach. Many find daily living difficult and dangerous.
With the correct spectacles, people can learn, work and achieve a quality of life otherwise completely unobtainable. Hence the need for VAO.
What does Vision Aid Overseas do?
Vision Aid Overseas is a charity dedicated to helping people in the developing world whose lives are blighted by poor eyesight, particularly where spectacles can help.
It works by sending abroad teams of volunteer optometrists and dispensing opticians who set up clinics, screen large number of patients and provide appropriate spectacles.
Started in 1985, Vision Aid Overseas has provided 600,000 eye tests and given 300,000 people the ability to to see with a pair of spectacles.
What do we stand for?
Our Vision: Vision Aid Overseas works for a world in which everyone has access to eyecare and spectacles.
Our Mission: To examine the eyes of needy people in the developing world and to train people in those countries in eyecare skills.
The way we work: Founded in 1985, we work by sending abroad teams of professionally qualified optometrists and dispensing opticians who establish clinics, provide eye tests and dispense spectacles.

a. Partners Relief and Development UK
b. www.partnersworld.org.uk
c. Relief for the persecuted people of Burma
d.
Partners was registered in the UK just under two years ago and is a small but highly effective charity providing support to the internally displaced and refugees of Burma. Much on the news at present the Burmese people desperately need the support we can give them and Partners are able to get aid directly to the people who need it - we can guarantee that the aid does not get taken by the Military Junta. You’ve seen the desperate situation on TV and through Partners you can do something about it! Working with relief teams we get aid, health care and food into the displaced people in the jungles of Burma who are under constant attack from the Junta. We provide education, food, health care, dentistry and developmental projects, essential supplies, counselling for traumatised and abused children as well as care for 1300 children in refugees camps.

a) The Children's Trust (Registered Charity Number 288018)

b) www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk

c) Providing care, education and therapy for severely disabled children

d) I have been fundraising for The Children's Trust for 7 years and their work with some of the UK’s most severely disabled children never fails to move me. Some were born with a disability; others come to the Trust after an accident or illness has left them with a severe brain injury. One child came to the Trust after a fall from a hotel balcony on holiday. He was two years old, and unable to walk. The Trust’s therapists helped him and after six months of intensive rehabilitation, he learned to walk holding his mum’s hand. Now approaching its 25th anniversary, The Children's Trust needs to raise £7million for a new Rehabilitation Centre – to enable it to continue to be the UK’s leading Rehabilitation Centre for children with brain injuries, and to reach out to even more children. Please choose this very worthwhile and caring charity.
