Staff at Jacksons Opticians on Welsh Row in Nantwich have helped raise £690 for the Charity Guide Dogs.
The independent optometry practice, established in 1888, chose to support the charity which helps more than 350 blind and partially sighted people across Cheshire and Merseyside.
The Nantwich practice raised the funds by pledging to donate £10 for each sight test carried out during January, raising a total of £690.
The donation was received by Crewe-based guide dog owner, Geoff and his guide dog Cassie.
Guide Dogs Engagement Officer, Penny Anderson said: “We were delighted that Jacksons had chosen to support Guide Dogs with their fundraising mission.
“Sight-loss affects every part of a visually-impaired person’s life, at Guide Dogs, we believe every person with sight loss should have the confidence and support they need to live their life to the full.
“It is only with the support of public donations that we are able to ensure that Guide Dogs is a part of the lives of visually impaired people and to be by their side at every stage of their lives.”
There are many ways to be a part of Guide Dogs, whether it’s doing some fundraising of your own, or volunteering to support a local visually impaired person.
