Specsavers Ferryquay Street and Crescent Link have announced the successful completion of a fundraising campaign that raised over £2,000 for the Foyle Hospice.
The initiative was organised in memory of a former colleague, Michelle Morrison, who passed away at the hospice in March 2019.
The dedicated team at the Specsavers Derry stores participated in a series of challenging events, including cold water dips, sponsored walks, and mountain climbs, to raise funds for the Foyle Hospice.
Their efforts aimed to honour the memory of their dear colleague and contribute to the invaluable services provided by the hospice.
Store Director Maeve Walsh expressed gratitude for the team's commitment and the community's support, stating: "Our team came together with immense dedication to raise funds for the Foyle Hospice, a cause that holds a special place in our hearts.
"We remember our colleague Michelle with love and admiration, and it is heartening to see our community join hands to support such a vital organisation.”
Director Seán McCauley added: “The generosity of everyone involved is a testament to the strong bonds that tie us together, and we are extremely grateful to our customers for their kind donations.
"We know that the Foyle Hospice has provided support to so many in the region and it is an honour to have been able to give back through our fundraising."
The funds raised by Specsavers Derry will directly benefit the Foyle Hospice, helping to ensure that compassionate care and support continue to be provided to those in need.
