BASINGSTOKE Lions Club is inviting the public to donate old or unused spectacles as part of World Sight Day.

Representatives from the charity will be in Festival Place on October 8 from 9am to 3pm collecting spectacles at a stall in Queen Anne's Square, where there will also be information leaflets and advice about blindness.

Lenny the Lion will be on hand to direct people to the stall, where there will also be a free raffle to win two tickets to one of the Lions' upcoming concerts.
