A BLIND man has been praised by the Prime Minister for his tireless charity work.

Tommy Mulholland, aged 76, went blind at the age of 47 after suffering a blood clot.

Since losing his sight, Mr Mulholland, of Treewall Gardens, Bromley, has been a passionate collector for the Greater London Fund for the Blind charity for 20 years.

The captain of England Blind Golf Association, who this year has raised £2000, met David Cameron at 10 Downing Street along with ex-Chelsea captain Paul Elliott to mark the 90th anniversary of the GLFB charity.

A spokesman for the GLFB said: "In our 90th year the work we do with the help of individuals like Tommy allows us to provide educational and support systems as well as services and transportation for the blind and visually impaired.

"Building confidence as well as independence in our clients is our main goal."
