Staff at Specsavers, Sutton, collected £1,801.06 for their chosen local charity in 2018, the John Eastwood Hospice Trust.

“Giving back to our community is really important to us and this cause is special to so many local people,” said Specsavers store director Nigel Davidson.

“It has been huge fun raising money for the inspirational team behind the hospice and we are excited to announce we have decided to continue supporting the charity in 2019.”

Five members of staff at the Idlewells store took part in a Tough Mudder at Belvoir Castle, getting the fundraising off to a great start.

Since then, the team took part in many events, including a successful bake-off (above) to round off the year, when the store was joined by members of the Sutton charity to celebrate their year of partnership.
