A concert was held in St. Mary's on 14th September 2019, in aid of both the Guide Dogs and Hearing Dogs. June Atkinson has just received word from the that the money we raised (about £400) has been used to enable Richard to have a new HD, after Dillon, his beloved companion, died. It has taken all this time to raise the necessary funding, which is about £5,000 + to breed and train a Rodney for Richard. Here is the wonderful, heartwarming link of the story.
