Two MPs visited charity shops to learn about their role in supporting sustainable fashion and vision loss research.
Twickenham and Richmond Park MPs, Munira Wilson and Sarah Olney, visited Fight for Sight's rebranded shops, formerly known as Vision Foundation.
The shops, which offer preloved, vintage, and designer fashion, as well as home items, use their proceeds to fund research and social change projects for those affected by vision loss.
She said: "Hampton’s Fight for Sight shop is a beloved local shop in the heart of our community.
"It was wonderful to meet some of the local volunteers who donate their time, and to speak with staff about Fight for Sight’s work to drive social change and raise vital funds for vision loss research."
She said: "Fight for Sight is a fantastic addition to East Sheen’s local shopping scene.
"Not only can you update your wardrobe with unique finds, but your purchases could also support life-changing research in a lab, provide young people access to blind sports initiatives, and much more."
The charity welcomes donations of clothing, bric-a-brac, books and homeware.
