Local opticians wear dots to raise lots

The team at the opticians in Woolshops Shopping Centre all donned spotty outfits in a bid to highlight awareness of the importance of braille and raise much-needed funds for the sight loss charity.

They also sold raffle tickets, giving customers the chance to win a gift hamper in exchange for donations to the worthy cause.

Assistant store manager Sharron Manning said: “We were delighted to help raise awareness of braille and raise funds for this worthy cause, and I’d like to say thank you to everyone who donated or bought a raffle ticket. The Halifax community was incredibly generous.”
