Opticians across Enfield are hosting a number of fundraising events supporting Comic Relief.

The teams from Specsavers stores in Edmonton Green, Enfield and Palmers Green are encouraging customers to make their faces funny for money with a pair of their Red Nose Day specs.

Branches will also be hosting a costume party and red nose take-over day.

Jaswinder Singh Nagra, store director at Specsavers in Palmers Green, said: “We are huge supporters of the work Comic Relief does and we wanted to go the extra mile to support the campaign.

“We’re calling on the community to show their support by purchasing a pair of our Red Nose Day glasses or donating to the appeal in our stores. Together we can help make a difference in people’s lives.”

The Palmers Green store will host its fancy-dress day on March 7, and the Edmonton Green team will donating to take part in a red-themed day on Red Nose Day, which will be on March 13.
