People are being urged to donate their old spectacles as part of an Island-wide campaign to help people in Nepal and Romania.
The glasses for the masses project has been set up by John Dog Callister.

Having spent part of the year cooped up at home with nothing but their poems to work on, many of the island’s performance poets are gearing themselves up for one of the highlights of the Manx literary calendar.
The 2020 Christmas Poetry Slam is set to take place tomorrow night (Friday) at the South Douglas Old Friends Club, Finch Road, Douglas, from 8pm and will feature at least 18 poets and writers, some who are seasoned veterans of past poetry slams, alongside many who are reading their work out for the first time.
