All Souls fund raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind

As always at these events, I learn something about a charity that I didn't know before. Apparently it costs £49,000 to breed and train a Guide Dog for the Blind and cover all the costs throughout their life. I had no idea that the charity covers all food, care and medical costs for the dogs, so no wonder they depend on charitable giving.

We were made very welcome by the people of All Souls and the supporters of the charity. A salad and pate lunch went down a treat and I had fun meeting all the attendees. The raffle and the lucky dip added to the funds raised and I hope to support another event in September.
