Artie's Goldie Gang for the Guide Dogs!
Artie Waterman is raising money for Guide Dogs
Story
We're supporting Guide Dogs UK! They work to breed and train guide dogs and create partnerships to give blind and visually impaired people freedom and mobility. There are over 2 million people in the UK living with sight loss, and a service dog can massively help with empowering them to live independently.
We're aiming to raise £500, which could support a working guide dog partnership for about two months! Whatever we raise, we're going to be funding some awesome things:
- £3 could pay for a microchip for one of their new guide dog pups
- £8 supports a working guide dog partnership for a day
- £16 buys a coat for a puppy in training
- £26 buys a white harness for a fully qualified guide dog
- £116 pays for a Training School Kit for guide dog trainers
- £348 buys a starter kit for three new guide dog owners
- £420 funds an iPad for a visually impaired child to support their education
If you want to chaos, we also have possibility for stretch goals - £1500 supports a guide dog partnership for 6 months, and at £2500 the Goldie Gang can name a Guide Dog puppy and follow its journey!
