INSURANCE broker Smart and Cook, based in Stockton and Northallerton has raised £27,454.32 for The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.
The funds were raised through the ‘Walk of Sight’, a creative fundraising campaign organised by Smart and Cook to help the thousands of visually impaired people living in the UK.
A series of fundraising walks has seen staff notch up 600 miles. And the company has now adopted two puppies and will support their training and development.
