Our Birmingham clinic team was delighted to welcome Sheema Mustahsin and Graeme McLuckie from Théa Pharma UK 👋
Sheema and Graeme joined us to see our work in action and witness first-hand how the funds raised by Théa Pharma are helping to change lives.
Théa Pharma UK has partnered with Vision Care for the past two years — supporting our mission through initiatives such as donations from event ticket sales, Graeme’s team challenge to walk a “Mile a Day in May” and joining our London Homeless Collective Night Walk fundraiser earlier this year.
During their visit, they met with our fundraiser Alison Gordon, who shared our new strategy to champion access to eyecare for people affected by homelessness and explore new ways Théa can help us make an even bigger impact.
A special thank-you to Graeme for also leaving us with some Théa eyecare products to distribute to patients. 💙
Meanwhile, our Birmingham team were busy seeing patients at SIFA Fireside, where people sleeping rough can access hot meals, showers, clothing, and our free eye tests. Among those seen were:
👓 A patient whose eyesight had worsened and needed new varifocals
👁️🗨️ A first-time glasses wearer, also prescribed varifocals
🌍 A non-English-speaking patient, helped by a friend acting as translator, who left with ready readers the same day
We’re deeply grateful for Théa Pharma’s continued partnership, generosity, and belief in our mission to improve eye health for people affected by homelessness through direct services. and work to remove barriers through advocacy and education. 💙
