Lions Clubs International first initiated the white stick back in 1931 for the blind; they also pioneered the guide dogs for the blind known initially as leader dogs. They have raised over £250 million worldwide in successful “Sight First” campaigns which were to help cure preventable blindness.

Every year in early October all Lions clubs globally are asked to take part in the World Sight Day. There will be some 46,000 clubs in 205 Countries taking part in this year’s event. Lions Clubs International have a long association working with the blind and visually impaired after they were challenged to be “Knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness” in 1925 by Helen Keller a blind person at the annual convention that year.
