Winchester optician, Derek Davidson, is off on his third visit to Uganda - this time as leader of a Vision Aid Overseas team.

They'll be in the south of the country, holding eye clinics, prescribing and supplying recycled spectacles.

Derek's team will consist of six opticians, a driver, a surgeon and a group of nurses. They will visit remote rural communities which have no access at all to eye care.

Winchester Rotary Club is doing the same as last year by supporting the project with a donation of £1,000.

Staff at Rawlings have raised a further £800 by running in the Winchester 10K road race.
