THE owners of a Bolton business that has thrived during lockdown are offering a helping hand to a charity by sponsoring its trek to Transylvania. Leonie Smethurst and Andy Ehrhart are supporting Elizabeth Oakes from the Children Today charity by donating £850 sponsorship for the event, which runs from September 16 to 21. The couple run the Pike Snack Shack on Georges Lane where they have a dog grooming business. Leonie said: “We moved into our new premises at the beginning of March as an established business but before we could even start to trade we had to temporarily shut the grooming due to the first lockdown.
