A MEET the Guide Dogs Day is taking place at a housing development in North Somerset.
Redrow Southwest is hosting the event at its Woodborough Grange development in Winscombe on Saturday, January 21 from noon to 3pm.
It is in partnership with Guide Dogs UK and the company is donating £250 to help put it on.
Guests will be able to meet the guide dogs accompanied by a couple of volunteers and to make donations to the charity.
Guide Dogs UK is the world’s largest breeder and trainer of working dogs and largely relies on donations.
Their services enable thousands of people with sight loss to lead confident, independent, and fulfilling lives.
Previously, donations have created 685 guide dog partnerships and provided almost 250,000 people with information about sight loss in 2021, making Redrow’s donation a special addition to help continue the valuable work they do.
Pam Gratton, Guide Dogs community fundraising relationship manager, said: “We could not be happier with this donation from Redrow. Our services provide vital support for people living with sight loss, whether that’s through a guide dog, support and advice or rehabilitation training”.
Charlotte Newnes, Redrow area sales manager in the South West, said: “We are so pleased to be able to help Guide Dogs UK with this donation, as well as it being a great day for everyone who gets to meet these amazing dogs”
