Specsavers aims to smash fundraising target for Comic Relief

Specsavers has planned to reach its target of raising more than £1 million for Comic Relief.

The company has supported the charity by launching funny frames in its practices for the third year running, with this year’s jester theme glasses costing £2. Since 2015, Specsavers has raised £848,000 and has pledged to raise a further £250,000 to beat its target.

Catherine Cottrell, fundraising and partnerships executive director at Comic Relief, said: ‘We’re so pleased Specsavers is continuing to support us for the third year. It’s great to see people having fun wearing their Comic Relief specs to help us raise much needed funds on Red Nose Day and we’re thrilled to now be offering these on our online shop too.’
