Standard Chartered and LFC join forces to tackle avoidable blindness

Just four days after the global ‘World Sight Day’, the Reds will take to the Anfield pitch wearing the ‘Seeing is Believing’ logo on their shirts for the iconic fixture against Manchester United on Monday October 17.

Although more than 285million people around the world suffer from visual impairment issues, the reality is that up to 80 per cent of cases can be prevented or cured.

This season marks the fifth year that Standard Chartered and LFC have come together to support ‘Seeing is Believing’. To date, the partnership has raised more than £250,000 through fan contributions and auction proceeds.
