North East leisure firm The Apartment Group has become a corporate friend of visiting dogs charity, Wag & Company.
Group boss Duncan Fisher has become a volunteer after the firm's £5,000 donation, which will enable 12 volunteers to visit older people in the region. Mr Fisher, along with his Hungarian Vizla called Rudy, has already visited a care home in Alnwick, for Wag. He said: "I believe that what Wag is offering is an exceptional and very much under-valued service. I hope that by joining the team Wag’s reach will continue to spread."
Wag & Company was set up seven years ago to tackle loneliness and isolation among older and vulnerable dog lovers in the North East. Diane Morton, founder and CEO of Wag & Company, said: "We’re so grateful to The Apartment Group for providing such important financial support and especially, of course, Duncan and Rudy for their personal commitment.
