Celebrated actor Art Malik will be hosting The Graham Layton Trust (GLT) Ramadan dinners this May.

The charity for whom Art is a trustee is committed to the free treatment of curable blindness and visual impairment in Pakistan.
 
The first dinner will be held at the Grand Sapphire Hotel in Croydon on May 5, and Manchester’s luxurious Vermilion will play host to GLT’s second dinner on May 12, with all proceeds going towards GLT. 
 
Actor and GLT Trustee, Art, said, “The Graham Layton Trust is the largest provider of free eye-care in Pakistan and does life-changing work, so it’s an honour for me to host the charity’s two Ramadan dinners this May, as well as work as a Trustee.

"Alongside marking this sacred time, we will be celebrating the incredible impact that GLT has had in transforming the lives of over 37 million of Pakistan’s most needy people.”

Since launching in 1985, GLT and its sister charity, Layton Rahmatulla Benevolent Trust have worked to treat over 37 million cases of curable blindness and visual impairment by providing high quality free eye surgery and ophthalmic care for those who cannot afford it.

GLT has developed a network of 19 hospitals, 56 clinics and outreach centres across Pakistan, enabling the treatment of people in urban centres and isolated rural areas, which have poor healthcare facilities. 

The charity also invests in teaching and training doctors and technicians in the latest eye-care treatments, as well as the latest technology and equipment to ensure patients receive the best clinical care.
