Nelson schoolchildren looking bright for winter thanks to opticians
Staff from Specsavers Nelson recently visited St Paul's Primary School to hand out high-visibility vests and to educate the pupils in reception about the importance of road safety.
Nabila Hussain, assistant store manager at Specsavers Nelson, said: “With shorter daylight hours throughout the winter months, it is imperative that children understand the importance of being visible to drivers.

Mrs Cregg, deputy headteacher at St Paul's, added: "We often take children on trips outside of school, so it’s imperative we keep our children safe at all times. The high visibility vests are fantastic, and we are extremely grateful to Specsavers for making such a generous donation."
