Representatives of intu and Guide Dogs for Blind with the cheque Guide dogs have their day
John Strachan, Chairman of intu, visited intu Derby recently to present the 2017 Chairman’s Corporate Responsibility Prize. John and Alexander Nicoll, intu’s CR Director,
presented a cheque for £2,000 to Amy Petterson, Community Fundraiser for Guide Dogs Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire, to help the charity improve mobility and access facilities at intu Derby for people who are blind or partially sighted. The intu Chairman’s CR Prize is awarded annually to
winning intu shopping centres and seeks to highlight and reward the charitable work that different centres do in partnership with their local communities. The intu Chairman’s prize money could fund training for an additional 30 people to become My Guide
assessors, supporting intu Derby’s goal to create a safe and supportive environment for the visually impaired, their families, friends and guide dogs. Carly Salisbury, Marketing Manager at intu Derby,
said: “We are honoured to support the Guide Dogs and thrilled that through our partnership with the charity we’re able to present the intu Chairman’s Prize cheque, a fantastic amount of money that will make a big difference to the work they do. “Here at intu Derby, creating an accommodating and
welcoming destination for all customers whatever their needs is extremely important to us, and we are very invested in our work with Guide Dogs for both our local shoppers and as an expansion of our support throughout the community.”
