World Sight Day 
World Sight Day, on 12th October each year, is used by Crofton Lions Club to try to make the general public more aware of the needs of the Blind and Sight Impaired. The pictures in this section show the 2007-2008 Mayor of Fareham, Cllr Mrs Katrina Trott, taking part in a "Blind Walk" where she experienced shopping, travelling, eating and drinking, etc., as a blind person. She was later interviewed for the 'Fareport Talking News' where she explined that it was one of the most frightening projects she had taken part in.
Lions collect unwanted spectacles for recycling to use in third world countries. This year to date we have collected 1200 pairs. Please look for any spectacles, especially childrens, that are no longer in use and either deliver them to Roberts, the Opticians on The Green, Stubbington, or call our Sight Officer, Lion Peter Holder on 01329.662086.
