Charlotte Walton, Community Fundraising Development Officer for Guide Dogs in Leeds said: “To have such a well-respected local restaurant supporting us is fantastic.

“Events such as this allow us to fund the training of more life changing guide dogs in Yorkshire.

“Diners may find eating a meal in the dark harder than they expect, but for many people with sight loss, this is something they have to experience every day”

The event will take place at Prashad restaurant on Whitehall Road, Drighlington on November 23 from 7pm.
