As part of the new community fundraising campaign Dining in the Dark, the Nedlands resident will host a dinner with 10-12 friends completely in the dark and all proceeds will go towards Guide Dogs WA.

Mr Davies’ family have been dedicated puppy raisers for Guide Dogs in training for the past two years.

‘I have seen how much work goes into raising and training the puppies and how much help they are once they become working dogs,’ Mr Davies said.
