We breed and train guide dogs to give blind people freedom and mobility

Story

My Mum was diagnosed with Glaucoma in her 30's and is now registered blind. Those everyday tasks that were once so simple, have now become a little harder. Having a guide dog will allow my mum to regain some of her independence back that she has lost.

The Guide Dogs charity have been brilliant with the training and support for my mum and she is now waiting for a guide dog. 

This charity does so much for blind and partially sighted people across the country, so please help me to raise as much money as possible for this amazing charity by making a donation. 

  • Training a guide dog costs around £34,000 and takes around  24 months.
  • The guide dog service receives no government funding and we rely solely on donations.
  • There are currently 180,000 blind or partially sighted people in the UK who rarely leave home alone.

Thank you so much.

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.
