Pembrokeshire Guide Dogs Cymru members have thanked the landlord of a seaside pub for his efforts in raising much needed funds for the charity.

Ian Wilkinson who owns the Temple Bar in the beautiful seaside village of Amroth in Pembrokeshire, Wales organised bingo sessions and quizzes during November to raise money for Guide Dogs.

As a result of the bingo and the quizzes a lovely £602 was raised by the good people who attended the pub and took part each week.

Pub Organises Bingo Sessions Monthly

The pub is no stranger to raising money as Ian and his customers manage to raise funds for a charity each month. In November the dog friendly pub welcomed guide dogs Eddie and Nancy along with some of the volunteers.

The total raised was just over £602, and thanks also go to the bingo players and all the people who support the quizzes each week, as well as the various quiz masters, who work so hard putting the quizzes together.

Ian and his team are now looking forward to welcoming people to a new set of quizzes and bingo sessions in 2025 and they would like to thank everyone who took part and helped in 2024.

Charity Does Sterling Work

When someone loses their sight, Guide Dogs Cymru is there to make sure they don’t lose their freedom as well. Their team provides life-changing mobility services to adults, children and young people with sight loss throughout Wales.

Guide Dogs Cymru states, “We won’t rest until people who are blind or partially sighted can enjoy the same freedom of movement as everyone else.”

If you’d like to know more about their services, or how you can help to make a difference by volunteering, fundraising, donating or campaigning, they love to hear from you. By getting involved, you can be a life-changer.
