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
Having been privileged to work for Guide Dogs for the past 3 years, I've had the chance to meet so many incredibly amazing people and plenty of very talented dogs.
This year, I'm joining a Guide Dog Owner to take on the Big Stroll in Edinburgh and hopefully will raise a little money to support the fantastic difference Guide Dogs makes to people across the UK.
If you're able to spare anything at all to support- every penny really does help!- myself and the wider community at Guide Dogs would be so grateful.
Almost two million people in the UK are living with sight loss that has a significant impact on their daily lives. Of those, around 180,000 rarely leave their homes alone and lead lonely, isolated lives. Guide Dogs works for a world where people with sight loss are never left out of life, for a world where being blind or partially sighted is not what defines you. A world with enough support to make the challenges of sight loss no barrier to fulfilling hopes and dreams.
