Hide AdGail Pajak, Volunteering Coordinator for Guide Dogs, said: “We’re looking forward to meeting people in Kettering this weekend.
“At Guide Dogs, we have nearly 80 different volunteering roles, so there’s lots of ways you can support our charity.
“We’re particularly looking for new people to join our Kettering supporter group, which is a social group who help raise awareness and funds for our charity locally.
