Throughout December, all five Specsavers Opticas stores on the Costa Blanca 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, José Ángel Moral-Tajadura tells us “Supporting charitable causes this Christmas is important to us with many families on the Costa Blanca feeling the effects of the recession, not to mention children 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.”

Specsavers Opticas in Benidorm, Calpe and Javea are taking part in the annual Toy Drive campaign for The Friends of the Children of EMAUS, a completely voluntary group of individuals, based in the Northern Costa Blanca, whose purpose is to raise much-needed funds for the children in the EMAÚS children’s shelters.

Their toy drive will provide presents for the Children of EMAUS spending this Christmas in care and the stores are urging locals to donate new, unwrapped toys, board games, gifts and clothes.

Carole Saunders from the charity says “People needn’t spend much, even something simple such as a woolly hat or some colouring books would make lovely gifts for the children of EMAUS.”
