Motion Text

That this House notes the Christian Blind Mission (CBM) Light up Lives appeal ending on 20th May; highlights that 3 out of 4 blind people globally do not need to lose their sight if given treatment; congratulates CBM on the wonderful work that they do to enable people in the world’s poorest places to see again through sight-restoring surgery, eye treatments and glasses, so they can go to school, get around safely and support themselves and their families; notes that for every pound given until 20th of May that the Government will match the donation; and encourages all those who are able to give what they can to bring light to lives throughout this world.
