Colleagues at Specsavers on the High Street took the challenge of finding hats to wear very seriously, all in the name of fundraising as well as raising awareness of the charity.

‘As ever, we want to thank our customers for their support and helping us to support Brain Tumour Research,’ says Specsavers Hucknall store director, Janet Archer. ‘The team had great fun taking part and there were some brilliant hats on display!

‘Many people are unaware that eye examinations are not just a prescription check, but can help with your wider health too. Routine eye tests allow your optometrist to detect health issues that can be either sight, or in some cases, life threatening, including brain tumours.’

Brain Tumour Research are the only national charity in the UK focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours. Funds raised on Wear a Hat Day will go towards increasing the national investment in brain tumour research, and also creating a network of seven sustainable Brain Tumour Research Centres of Excellence across the UK.
