Christmas events raise £1,500 for Guide Dogs

Rotary Club Windsor St George worked with Windsor Yards Shopping Centre during their Fanastically Festive Weekend on 3rd and 4th December 2022. An excellent £1,500 was raised for Guide Dogs over the two days. The cheque was presented to the team during an event on 8th February 2023. Rotary Club Windsor St George issued the following press release:

Thanks to the support of Margaret Tagg at Windsor Yards, Rotary Club Windsor St George were given the opportunity to fundraise for Guide Dogs over the weekend of 3rd and 4th December 2022.

The Saturday event in Windsor Yards replaced the traditional Santa Reindeer Parade through the town. The Sunday event was a craft market with different suppliers having stalls within the centre promoting their Christmas items.

Both days created a very good interest in Guide Dogs and the work the Rotary does. Paws from Guide Dogs had a busy two days meeting lots of different people and animals. We are very pleased to announce that from the bucket donations and the fees from stallholders have made it possible for the club to be able to present tonight a cheque to Guide Dogs for £1,500.

Thank you to Windsor Yards for hosting the event, all the stallholders who supported the Sunday market, Riverways Farm at Twyford for the reindeer and the public who gave generously over the weekend.
