Changing lives, through better sight and hearing
Our partnership with Specsavers helps to provide free eye and ear care to people experiencing homelessness and has been supported with over £1 million in pledged funding over the last three years.
Through this partnership, Specsavers staff volunteer their time to offer eye tests, hearing checks, and free glasses year-round at Crisis Skylight centres and during the annual Crisis at Christmas event. The collaboration has also funded a wellbeing space in the Crisis Edinburgh Skylight and continually raises awareness of the barriers people affected by homelessness face in accessing healthcare.
By combining expertise in eye and ear care with Crisis’s mission to end homelessness, the partnership helps restore dignity, improve wellbeing, and create clearer pathways to a better future.
