William and Pippa together with their Guide Dog Puppy Walkers Ann, Margaret and Claire visited to collect a cheque for £370.00. The money was raised by holding a Christmas fundraiser stall in the library.

Pippa received her blanket as a tiny puppy. Fundraising has now reached £2,124.40. Thank you to staff and pupils of the school who have supported this charity since 2012.
