SPECSAVERS is once again supporting Comic Relief by selling comedy glasses.

The store on Queens Parade in Winsford Shopping Centre will be selling the funny frames for £2, with all the proceeds going to the charity.

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.

Since 2015, Specsavers stores have raised £848,000 and have pledged to raise £250,000 this year in their quest to break the £1 million mark.

Store director Peter Adshead 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 and all the good causes they fund."

Catherine Cottrell, fundraising and partnerships executive director at Comic Relief, said: ‘We’re so pleased Specsavers is continuing to support us for the third year.

"It’s great to see people having fun wearing their Comic Relief specs to help us raise much needed funds on Red Nose Day and we’re thrilled to now be offering these on our online shop too."

The novelty glasses come in both little and large sizes and are available at the store ahead of Red Nose Day on Friday, March 15.

For the first time they can also be obtained online from Comic Relief at comicrelief.com.

The fun glasses can be reused at fancy dress event, art project and children's parties or returned to Specsavers to be recycled.
