Felicity Stratton, Community Fundraising Relationship Manager at Guide Dogs, said: “We’re very pleased to hear that we’ve been chosen to receive another donation from David Wilson Homes.
“It costs £81.6 million to deliver our services for people with sight loss each year and, as a charity, we rely almost entirely on donations such as this one to keep our life-changing services running.”
Named ‘Wilson’, the puppy sponsored by David Wilson Homes is currently undergoing his training and whilst having a lot more to learn, explore and experience, Guide Dogs will be there to guide him every step of the way.
