An opticians in Market Drayton raised more than £500 for the NSPCC.
Mincher Lockett & Co raised £520 with a night of fashion and fundraising at the Goldstone Hall Hotel, including a reception with drinks and canapés, viewing of luxury eyewear and a raffle.
A 'most colourfully dressed' competition judged by director Eva Davé was won by Becky McFarlane.

Sue Alcock, of the Whitmore branch of the NSPCC, said: "We were delighted to collaborate with Mincher Lockett & Co in raising funds for the NSPCC and in particular, our local facility, Carole House which is based just over the border in Basford.
"We raised a great amount for the charity whilst learning about eyewear styling and also having fun.’’
