Sweet treats and style helped raise funds for a good cause at a west end opticians.

Specsavers on Byres Road hosted a week-long fundraising event in support of Comic Relief, raising £130 through a bake sale and charity raffle.

Staff baked a selection of homemade cakes and treats for the fundraiser, with all proceeds donated to Comic Relief.

In addition to the bake sale, the store raffled off a free pair of designer glasses, giving customers another way to contribute to the fundraising efforts.



Claire McFadyen, optometrist director at Specsavers Byres Road, said: "Red Nose Day is a highlight in our calendar, and the team really outdid themselves in the kitchen this year.

"Whether it’s through a cake or raffle ticket, the generosity of our west end customers never fails to amaze us.

"We’re proud to play our part in helping Comic Relief tackle poverty and provide safety for those who need it most."

The campaign is part of the store’s ongoing commitment to supporting national health and wellbeing initiatives.
