Specsavers are once again supporting Comic Relief and stores are getting in on the act by selling funny frames which are sure to raise a smile.
It is the third Red Nose Day that Specsavers has supported the charity by launching the frames in store, with this year’s red glasses jester theme in keeping with the charity’s comic ethos.
This will be done through the sale of the Comic Relief frames which cost just £2, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to the charity.
They will be available to buy in stores and, for the first time, the Comic Relief website.
Store director in Specsavers Saltcoats, Alistair Ferdinand, said: ‘Our glasses this year are fantastic and we hope everyone gets into the fundraising spirit by picking up a pair in store and help us smash our £1 million fundraising mark.
“We are really proud to support Comic Relief. ReFrames are available in your local Specsavers stores in Saltcoats now ahead of Red Nose Day on Friday, March 15.
Customers who would like to recycle the glasses after Red Nose Day will be able to return them to their local store and they will be sent onto a specialist recycling company.
