Specsavers on Market Street hosted a week-long collection earlier this month in aid of [Bearded Broz](https://www.beardedbroz.com/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk), a Midlands organisation acting as a hub for items being sent to support those in Eastern Europe.

Store director Praful Patel said:

> “The ongoing situation in Ukraine is absolutely awful – we wanted to do something to help those individuals who need it most right now.  
>  
> “The amount of innocent people who are suffering, including children is heart-breaking and we felt really strongly about doing something to support them.   
>  
> ‘The team have really pulled together on this and I’m so proud. Our donation is just one of the ways in which we can help those in need.  
>  
> “I’d urge anyone in the community to consider making their own donation if they can.”
