Santa's grotto a right spectacle
AMIDST the rush of the Christmas countdown, Santa Claus visited Specsavers Wick to gather last-minute present wishes from local children.
The store team, with help from Santa’s elves of course, sprinkled the store with festive magic and transformed a test room into a grotto in time for his visit to Specsavers Wick.
Youngsters who visited the grotto met Santa himself and each child was gifted with a present. The team collected donations on the day and thanks to generous visitors, the store raised £41.81 for Guide Dogs.
Guide Dogs charity provides life-changing services to the 360,000 people who are registered blind or partially sighted, and the two million people in the UK living with sight loss. The charity provides a range of services including guide dogs, to help thousands of people with different needs lead confident, independent and fulfilling lives.
Specsavers Wick also recently counted the Teenage Cancer Trust collection tin in store which included £116.15 which will be donated to the charity.
Ian Morris, store director at Specsavers Wick, said: "We loved welcoming this very special visitor in store who helped spread festive cheer to our customers – young and old.
"I’d like to say a big thank you to our customers for their generosity to these two fantastic charities."
