A SPECSAVERS in the Bradford district is raising money through activities including sponsored cycling, leg waxing, and hair dyeing.

The Bingley store is supporting Sue Ryder through its efforts, with optometry director Raj Gill set to dye his hair blue on August 30.

Mr Gill said: “We’re incredibly proud of our fundraising achievements over the years – especially raising over £1,000 for our local neonatal ward last year, in collaboration with our sister stores in Keighley and Shipley.

“We’re determined to keep up the momentum by taking part in several challenges this summer, including dyeing my hair blue for Sue.

“We’re hoping to encourage as many people as possible to donate what they can, no matter how big or small.”

Retail director Dom Doran will take part in a sponsored leg wax, and the team has vowed to collectively cycle 100km. 

Donation buckets and QR codes are available in store throughout August.
