We organise fund-raising in and around the York & Selby area to raise money for Guide Dogs.

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.

Guide dogs give people with sight loss the confidence to get out and about safely, providing life-changing practical support every day. There is no minimum age for a guide dog, so guide dogs also give young people the confidence to get out and about safely. In 2020 the youngest guide dog owner was 14 and the oldest was 97.

A donation of £8 supports a working guide dog partnership for a day.

A donation of £16 buys a coat for one of our puppies in training to be a guide dog.
