Children at Chingford C of E Primary have finally got to meet up with the guide dog they raised over £2500 to put through it's initial training. Charlie, a Golden Retriever /  Labrador  cross visited the school together his trainer, Catherine Gaskin, and Guide Dogs for the Blind representative, Elisabeth Abbott. The school raised the money last year through a sponsored dog walk and a doggy hamper raffle. Elisabeth Abbott, who brought along her own guide dog, Daisy, congratulated the school for its fundraising efforts adding that it was the most money raised by a school for the Association over the past 12 months.
