Children's Specialist Sports Glasses
The charity "Caudwell Children", may be able to assist children with a donation towards specialist sports glasses.
They are a national charity who help disabled children on a number of levels. They will accept applications from players who need the sports glasses to be able to safely compete as long as the need for the equipment is supported by a medical professional and a coach/manager, then they would be applicable for a donation.
They cannot guarantee that the application will be successful as a number of factors are taken into consideration.
