Specsavers stores will also be holding fundraising days and assisting in the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning in support of the charity. Promotional rose-tinted glasses will be on sale throughout October with £10 from every sale going to Macmillan.

A separate Spectacle Wearer of the Year competition will be run by Specsavers exclusively for Macmillan staff.
