GUIDE Dogs supporters in Rugby have been thanked for raising £13,000 so far this year.
Local fund-raising volunteers have held supermarket collections and various events to raise money for the charity.
The money will support a partnership between a guide dog and a person with sight loss.
Charity spokeswoman Felicity Stratton said: “This amazing group of volunteers have done incredibly well to raise this sum.
“Volunteers kindly offer their time, support and energy to our charity. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to continue our work.
“Our guide dogs are truly life-changing, allowing people with sight loss to enjoy the same freedom and independence as everyone else.
“We are so proud of our volunteers and would like to thank them for everything they do. We also wish to recognise the fantastic support that the group receives from individuals and businesses within the local community.”
