Star Fundraisers

Last Red Nose Day, Specsavers in Hereford held their own version of The Apprentice. Two teams, each armed with a rickshaw and driver, battled the great British weather, and peddled their way to a whopping £6,000! And no one got fired, which is nice.

£6,000 could greatly reduce the threat of deadly diseases for an entire community in the slums of Kenya by building a sanitation block with toilets, showers and a clean water point.
