A big high 5 to Newry Veterinary Centre who smashed it out of the park at their recent Family Fun Day raising £2,223, which with match funding from Charity Partner VetPartners Ireland will total a whopping £4,446! 🎉

Newry Vets Practice Manager Shantel Lloyd said: “Our fun day was a huge success as everyone had a great time, and we raised a lot of money for a brilliant charity that does great work across Northern Ireland.

“Our practice is proud to be at the heart of our community in Newry and event brought lots of people together for a good time for a cause close to our hearts.”

Gary Wilson, Community Fundraising Manager at Guide Dogs NI, said: “We are thrilled to be the chosen charity for VetPartners Ireland this year and want to thank the Newry Vets team and clients for their amazing generosity in supporting this event.

“As a charity, we rely almost entirely on public donations to fund our vital services for people with vision impairments across Northern Ireland. Every penny raised will help us create more guide dog partnerships and improve the lives of those living with sight loss.” 🐾
