Fundraising for Guide Dogs
Story
Here at Event Mobile Tyres we like to do our bit to help other people out where ever we can. Last year we set out to raise £5000 for the MS Society but actually managed over £7000, so we`ve set the bar a little higher this year and our aim is to reach a massive £10,000 towards the guide dogs for the blind association, for this we`ll need as much help and generosity as possible from all of our friends and customers new and old!
Please take a few minutes to read though the points below and you`ll get a feel for why this worthy cause needs so much help.
Why we need your support
- Every hour another person goes blind
- There are currently 180,000 blind or partially sighted people in the UK who rarely leave home alone
- GD currently train around 780 guide dogs each year, but to help meet the demand for new guide dogs they desperately need to create a third more guide dog partnerships by 2020
- Half of the dogs that they train are needed to replace dogs who have retired
- 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.
So please dig deep and give as much or as little as you can as every penny counts !!
