Brownhills opticians brings festive cheer while supporting local foodbank
Colleagues at an opticians in Brownhills are spreading Christmas cheer and giving back to the community with a series of festive activities to raise funds for The Lamp Foodbank.
The Specsavers store on the High Street, which is locally owned and run, is inviting customers to join in two festive games this season: Name the Reindeer, just £1 to enter, and an advent calendar lucky dip. For £1 a go, each advent calendar pocket reveals a punny Christmas message and a chocolate treat. If you find Santa’s face, you win a special prize!
Alongside the games, the store has a collection pot for donations, and customers can contribute in exchange for a Specs MOT, helping raise even more for The Lamp Foodbank, which supports local families in need.
‘We wanted to bring some festive cheer to our customers while supporting a cause that really matters,’ says store director, Mohit Verma. ‘Christmas is a time for giving, and our team is passionate about helping those who might be struggling. Every pound donated will make a difference, and we’re grateful to everyone who gets involved.’
The Lamp Foodbank, based in Brownhills, plays a vital role in supporting individuals and families who are facing hardship. By providing essential food parcels and everyday items, the charity ensures that no one in the local community goes hungry. With demand for its services continuing to rise, every donation helps The Lamp Foodbank offer hope and practical support to those who need it most.
