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

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I am raising money for this charity in my late husbands memory. It was Gary's wish to raise funds for this cause before he tragically lost his life in June 2004 aged just 42 so I now do this for him in honour of his memory.
Each guide dog puppy we buy costs £5000 and every penny you pledge helps us to eventually transform someones life and give them their independence back
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: Guide Dogs will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.

Please donate generously, and help us to provide guide dog puppies and keep Gary's memory very much alive.

Many thanks for your support.

Sue
