Cheque out Specsavers Tallaght

SPECSAVERS Tallaght raised almost €3,500 in aid of Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin through a number of in-store activities.

Earlier this year, Specsavers presented Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital with a cheque for €120,000, and announced that it would be extending its commitment to the hospital by pledging to raise an additional €100,000 for the ophthalmology unit.

Store directors James Ryan and Stephen McKenna stood with Specsavers Tallaght store staff, as they prepared to deliver their giant cheque of €3,333 to Our Lady’s.

The store raised the much-needed funds through in-store activities, such as the hugely successful Climb for Crumlin initiative, as well as generous donations from customers.

Further donations are pledged for the ophthalmology unit, which provides care to children suffering from common eye conditions, such as squints, which if left untreated can result in sight problems.

In addition, the service offers evaluation and treatment of other complex eye conditions such as congenital cataract, congenital glaucoma and visual problems associated with neurological disease.

Specsavers Tallaght store would like to thank the local community for their support in making the contribution possible, and encourage customers to keep an eye out in-store and online for upcoming events.
