Our corporate supporters

Vision Express and the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust are working together to raise awareness and funds for the charity. Vision Express has challenged its stores to raise £1 per day for CHECT. How? Vision Express stores provide a free glasses repair and maintenance service. If you have frames which need adjusting, perhaps the arms need tightening, the fit is not comfortable or the screws are loose, why not pop in? It doesn't matter if you didn't buy them from Vision Express in the first place, they are still happy to repair and service your glasses - for a donation to our charity.

There are over 350 Vision Express stores in the UK and they have all been given collecting boxes. If all the stores hit their target, we could benefit enormously. If you live near a Vision Express store why not pop in and introduce yourself? To find your nearest store - use the following link www.visionexpress.com/stores . There are other ideas in the pipeline for ways in which Vision Express and CHECT can work together to raise money and awareness of Rb. For example we are looking at ways of helping Vision Express optometrists with their continued professional development by giving training in the signs and symptoms of retinoblastoma. Money raised during our three year partnership will go towards our Research and Support programmes.

The Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT) are delighted to be chosen as the beneficiary of bmibaby’s inflight charity scratchcard for the next two years – 10p from every card will go to CHECT. CHECT’s name and logo on the scratchcards means that CHECT can get exposure to over 6 million passengers onboard bmibaby www.bmibaby.com for the next two years, which can only help enormously in terms of awareness and education. Our adoption as bmibaby’s scratchcard charity is a direct result of one of our Rb families being an employee of the company. 

Dough pizza kitchen supports Chect with a donation of 50p from every child’s pizza sold in the restaurant.  Information about Chect is available on their children’s menu and online at http://www.doughpizzakitchen.co.uk/
