This long standing partnership first started in 2005 by placing collection tins in their store and continues to this day with Tom’s infectious energy and enthusiasm where we continue to propose new ways to support Orbis. Tom’s relentless personal support of Orbis saw the designer choose Orbis as the beneficiary charity of his DADA eyewear design competition in order to support their Vision for Zambia appeal in 2015. Tom also donated spectacle frames to Orbis-supported Vision Centres in Zambia, pledged communications support during the planning stages of Orbis campaigns and provided introductions to suppliers in order to establish new links.
Tom has also created acetate frames with encapsulated space dust from planet Mars pictured here which was auctioned off, with all proceeds going to Orbis.
In 2017, Tom donated equipment and volunteered time to enable Orbis to create 360 footage for social media and brought members of the TD Tom Davies team to see the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital at Stansted, bringing his colleagues closer to the work he hopes to support even more in the future.
