Our Community: A Practice That Gives Back
Social Responsibility
At The Optical People, we take our social responsibility seriously and are proud to be part of the vibrant Chepstow community. For us, Chepstow is more than just a place of work—it’s where we live, raise our families, and connect with the people who make this town extraordinary. We are passionate about preserving Chepstow’s unique character, supporting local businesses, and fostering a sense of community where everyone can thrive.We are committed to ensuring that Chepstow remains a wonderful place to live and work by championing independent businesses and collaborating with other local organisations. As a practice, we recognise the importance of giving back and making a positive impact on our community. Whether through our environmental efforts, support for charitable causes, or promoting health and well-being, we strive to uphold our social duties at every opportunity.
Supporting Local Organisations
In the last year alone we have committed to uplifting our community through meaningful contributions which we believe empower and nurture talent within Chepstow. These include:Sponsorships:
Supporting a local football player as well as the uniform for Chepstow youth rugby club, two orchestras, and school PTA raffles on numerous occasions.Fundraisers:
Helping food banks and charities like SARA (Severn Area Rescue Association) to assist those in need and enhance community resilience.Educational Outreach:
Providing school talks to educate children about the importance of regular eye exams and overall eye health, promoting lifelong wellness.
Fostering Local Business Connections
Independent businesses are at the heart of Chepstow, and we are passionate about ensuring their success. We actively celebrate and promote the achievements of local shops, services, and initiatives, sharing their stories and encouraging others to shop locally. By working together, we can create a thriving business community, on the ground, online and on socials.
At The Optical People, we are committed to making a difference—not just in eye care but in the lives of the people who call Chepstow and the beautiful areas of the Wye Valley and Forest of Dean, home. By fostering community spirit, we aim to ensure that Chepstow remains a vibrant, welcoming place for generations to come.
