Colin Jones is a Dispensing Optician and Contact Lens Optician who runs his own independent practice in Widnes. Originally from Liverpool, he is proud of his roots and a lifelong supporter of his football team. Colin has taken part in several Vision Aid Overseas trips, providing vital eye care and spectacles to communities across Africa. In 2019 he joined a visit to Malawi, where he was inspired by the incredible work Kasupe is doing to support education and community development. Having seen the impact first-hand, Colin felt privileged to be invited to become a Trustee and to help make a difference.
