Hide AdBob Partridge, the owner and director, spent a long day operating – helping a number of patients with difficult dental problems.
But, after getting home late and feeling exhausted he switched on the news and immediately knew that his “tough day” was as nothing compared to troubles, the fear and the pain experienced by the people of Ukraine.
The news tells of bombing in civilian areas and of a mass evacuation of people fleeing for their lives.
Rather than just posting on social media or simply feeling upset, Bob decided to do something positive.

Many of his team and also the team at Training-Progress have followed suit and made personal donations.
Mr Partridge said: "We would like to encourage other businesses and Veterinary Practices to do the same. Please put your money where your mouth (or keyboard) is!
