Raising money for

The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association

Charity Registration No. in England and Wales 209617 and Scotland SC038979

The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of blind and partially-sighted people never leave home alone. We empower visually-impaired people to live their lives how they want to.

We breed and train guide dogs which provide life changing mobility and there are currently 4,500 working guide dog partnerships in the UK. Guide dog owners only have to pay a nominal 50p for their dog to ensure no-one is prevented from having one due to lack of funds but the full lifetime cost of a guide dog from birth to retirement is £49,800. We rely on the support of the public to fund our services.

We also provide other mobility services such as rehabilitation and white cane training as well as campaign passionately to break down barriers – both physical and legal – to enable blind and partially-sighted people to get around on their own.

My story

Thanks for visting the 'TEAM DORWEST' sponsorship page!

The challenge consists of hiking (crawling!) to the summit of the 'Old Man of Coniston', then a 12 mile bike ride through Grizedale Forest then to top it all off, canoe a course on Coniston Water for a a few miles - all in under 10 hours!

The independence and freedom a Guide Dog provides to blind and partially sighted people is almost incomprehensible to those of us lucky enough to have full sight. This is why we are so keen to get involved and really contribute to this charity that really makes a difference

Please support this charity to allow it to continue to breed and train guide dogs and make a real difference to blind and partially-sighted peoples lives.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Guide Dogs will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

We are all training our little socks off to ensure we reach this massive target so please, please help and sponsor us - as little as £10 is enough to train and care for each guide dog for a day.

Many thanks for your support.
