A WARWICKSHIRE based home builder has donated £1,500 to the sight loss charity Guid Dogs through a community fund scheme.
David Wilson Homes’ charitable scheme, undertaken as part of The Barratt Foundation.
Guide Dogs is known for providing assistance and companionship to people with visual impairments.
The donation from David Wilson Homes will aid in the training, care, and support of guide dogs and marks the second donation the company has made to Guide Dogs in the past year.
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 £81.6million 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.”
The company also named one of the charity’s puppies ‘Wilson’ who 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.
Dominic Harman, managing director at David Wilson Homes Mercia, said: “We are thrilled to support Guide Dogs through our Community Fund scheme, and it’s an honour to be part of the incredible work it does to provide independence and companionship to individuals with visual impairments.
“Naming one of the guide dog puppies is a fantastic opportunity and it’s a privilege to share the meaningful impact the charity has on the lives of many people.”
