Help Specsavers to help a charity this Christmas

Throughout December, allย eight Specsavers Opticas stores in Spain are taking part in a Christmas charity appeal to provide food, clothing and gifts to children and families who may otherwise go without. All stores will be acting as drop off points for donations on behalf of various local charities.

Business Development Manager, Josรฉ รngel Moral-Tajadura tells us โ€œSupporting charitable causes this Christmas is important to us with many families in Spain feeling the effects of the recession, not to mention ill children or those in care who need our help to have a happy Christmas. Our stores are passionate about their chosen charities and are all doing their bit to encourage donations.โ€

Specsavers Opticas in Marbella are collecting new and second hand toys for children with cancer on behalf of charity AECC (Asociaciรณn Espaรฑola Contra el Cancer). AECC distribute the toys to children with cancer in hospital and at home in the Marbella area.ย 

Specsavers Opticas Fuengirola are collaborating with their local branch of the Red Cross and collecting non-perishable food and items for babies which will be distributed to those in need over the festive period. Required items include rice, sugar, coffee, pulses, milk, pasta, tuna, toiletries, cleaning products and powdered baby milk.

Spanish Sun Christmas Present Appeals

Jan from the Spanish Sun is looking for help to give children in care lovely presents this Christmas, here’s her message:

The Spanish Sun has started itโ€™s annual appeal to buy the children in care their dream presents for Christmas. This year the nuns have asked if they can also give us a list of children who are not in care, but the nuns know that they will not be receiving any Christmas presents.

We are asking local businesses and people if they can help. If you could do any of the following:

1. Help by selling raffle tickets for our Christmas raffle.

2. Donate a prize to the raffle, this could be a voucher to spend in your business, an actual prize, a bottle of something to go in the hamper we are making.

3. Buy a present for a specific child.

4. Make a donation towards one of the larger presents.

5 Buy some raffle tickets (This can be done via internet)
