We recycle glasses with Recycline Ltd, contact lenses, foil lid and the blister the contact lens comes in via Terracycle and we recycle hearing aids via The Hearing Care Partnership.
We give full receipts for Westfield Health.
Victoria take's part in The Archer Project Sheffield - providing free eye tests for the homeless. Victoria is also a resident optometrist on BBC Radio Sheffield with Paulette Edwards on the expert slot and our charity for the practice is Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind, who we support as much as possible. Victoria completed a fire and glass walk in November 2019 to raise money for them. Victoria and her oldest daughter, Izzy, also completed a 160 foot abseil down the Owen Building Sheffield for SRSB in 2022 raising £600 for the charity.
The practice is also sponsoring a puppy called Margo for Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Started in Optics as a 'Saturday girl' 12 years ago and have just never managed to leave! Qualified as a DO in 2019, CLO in 2023 and have been awarded the BCLA prize and the Bailey prize for my CLO exam results.
Aside from Optics, I love walking our grumpy dog, George, attempting to garden and I dip in and out of playing the piano.
