HUNDREDS of pounds have been raised for an armed forces charity by staff at Clevedon’s Specsavers store.
As part of Armed Forces Week, the shop in The Triangle held a day of fundraising activities in aid of Blind Veterans UK.
This included selling cakes and poppy seeds and also a raffle for a hamper of luxury goods.
Store director Emma Perrigo said: “As a charity, Blind Veterans UK has achieved a great amount, but in order to continue their work with our ex-servicemen, they need ongoing support.
“We hope by holding this event we can remind people of the fantastic work the charity does.”
A total of £290 was raised which included £5 donated by Specsavers for every sight test held during the day.
