Specsavers has raised £150,000 for Diabetes UK by making a donation for every sight
test carried out during Diabetes Week in June and organising various fundraising
initiatives across stores.
Specsavers raised the money as part of its charity of
the year commitment to Diabetes UK. A number of other events are planned in aid 
of Diabetes UK, including the Spectacle Wearer of the Year competition which has
recently been promoted in a national advertising campaign. The contest is supported
by Kimberley Stewart, daughter of Rod Stewart. Specsavers are donating £1 for each
entry received for its Spectacle Wearer of the Year competition.
