Activities to raise the money will include an anniversary prize draw and in addition, one pound will be donated for every enhanced NHS Sight Test and private eye examination performed over the next 12 months.

Darcy's owner Christine Dean is a Wincanton resident and patient at Sarah Gibson Optometrist; also in attendance will be Christine's current Guide Dog, Jodie.

Winners of the anniversary prize draw will be selected at the end of the event. Prizes have been generously donated by local businesses and suppliers.

"As a local independent business, we are incredibly proud to still be going strong after ten years," said Sarah Gibson, owner and Optometrist at the practice. "The anniversary event is our way of saying thank you all our wonderful patients who have shown us loyalty and support over the years. We're also looking forward to raising some money for Guide Dogs at the same time. The charity does some fantastic work and these dogs make a huge difference to the lives of their owners."
