For every sight test in-store £1 was donated and children were invited to have their faces painted.

The winner was Mr and Mrs Regis and their dog Lemon.

"We’re very grateful for the generosity from the Tonbridge community towards such a fantastic charity. We hope we have encouraged people to continue to support Guide Dogs."
