The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of people with sight loss never leave home alone. We empower visually impaired people to do that and rely on the support of the public to fund the guide dog service.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

On Sunday 15th March I'll be competing in the advanced category in a charity Pole Fitness Competition at Nottingham Trent University to raise money for Guide Dogs, a really worthy cause.  

The visually impaired rely on Guide Dogs to experience the same freedom of movement that we take for granted every day, but unfortunately training guide dogs is expensive and at the moment there simply isn't enough funding to provide for everyone's needs.

Every hour, another person in the UK goes blind. When someone loses their sight, Guide Dogs is there to make sure they don’t lose their freedom as well. Guide Dogs provides a range of mobility services and works to break down barriers so that blind and partially sighted people can get out and about on their own terms.

It costs Guide Dogs around £50,000 to support a guide dog from birth to retirement. However, the guide dog service receives no government funding. This is where you can help, even the smallest donation will make a difference to the life of a visually impaired person.  If you can't donate, (I understand students struggle with money enough as it is!) please share, or take the time to show your support.

Thank you in advance for any support! Charli x
