Dani Moore, who works at Scrivens Opticians & Hearing Care, decided to support the Alzheimer's Society by changing the colour of her locks during Dementia Action Week.

Thanks to trainee dispensing optician Dani's eye-catching new look, a book sale and a raffle, the Buttermarket branch raised £122 in sponsorship and donations for the cause.

Dani said: "Alzheimer's Society is our company's charity of the year and one that is close to our hearts because it affects so many families.

"I wanted to do something a bit different and it got a good response."

Family business Scrivens, which was established in 1938, has 181 stores in England and Wales, and 1,100 employees.
