Lancashire housebuilders Barratt and David Wilson Homes recently hosted a ‘dinner in the dark’ event at their Centurion Village development to help raise awareness of the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.
The event in Leyland was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of South Ribble, Cllr Chris Lomax and Kim Lomax, who joined the homebuilders to celebrate the work of the national assistance dogs charity. Guests were encouraged to enjoy a three-course lunch whilst wearing a blindfold to raise awareness of those living with visual impairments.
” Designed to raise awareness of the tasks people with visual impairments face every day, the aim of a dinner in the dark event is to encourage people to rely on their taste and hearing senses, whilst engaging in more thought-provoking conversation. Cllr Chris Lomax said: “The Mayoress and I were delighted to be invited to the dinner in the dark event. We both had a fantastic time and learnt so much about the difficulties that people with sight issues face on a day-to-day basis.
