The team from Specsavers on Westgate Street gathered their own pre-loved items and asked the community for donations to sell at the Marksbury Car Boot in aid of Voices, a charity dedicated to providing recovery support and advocacy for people affected by domestic abuse.

Phil Lodge, store director, said: “We’re thrilled with the final amount raised for Voices.

“The work they do to give survivors of domestic abuse a safe space to recover is fantastic and we’re proud to be able to support them.

“We want to thank everyone for items they generously donated to help us raise more than £300. We’re so lucky to be a part of the amazing community in Bath.”

Voices was founded in 2014 to improve domestic abuse services and help survivors to recover and thrive.

The charity offers a growing range of services while maintaining a safe space for survivors to receive specialist support.
