The local branch of Guide Dogs returned to Orchard Shopping Centre in the lead-up to Christmas to host another of their popular pop-up shops. They raised an incredible sum of £19,608.41 for their deserving charity, a figure which exceeded the combined total of the previous two years!
A huge thank you goes out to their volunteers and to all those who bought from the shop or donated to the cause.
As Krissie Isaac, Community Fundraising Relationship Manager for Guide Dogs South West commented, “they had a truly exceptional experience and were welcomed wholeheartedly by the residents of Taunton”.
