Story

Thank you for coming onto our page.

First here is a bit about myself, my name is Cheryl I am 35 years old and I am registered blind/severely sight impaired.

Five years ago now I finally plucked up the courage to sign up for my first guide dog. In 2020 I finally got the call about maybe having found a match. (He is a handsome Golden Retriever called Flynn but most people know him as Flynn the Floof, or in the gym he is Flynn le Flirty floof). So not long after that phone call training started and oh my gosh how my life has changed since then. Before Flynn I could/would not leave the house without someone being with me, I didnt even have the confidence to ask for help from anyone. Now I go out on my own with Flynn, I attend a gym, I can go to shops when ever I need to go. Not only has he helped with the practical side he has given me a whole new confidence I never had before.

So with saying that below is some numbers about how much each thing about a guide dog can cost. However Guide dogs is purely ran on donations so please even if its only a couple of pounds could you please help me on raising money to help this charity out.

Thank you so much!!

Every day, 250 more people join the 2 million already living with sight loss. This number is set to double by 2050, which is why our work is more important than ever before, however, we can only continue our life-changing work, such as our guide and buddy dog services, mobility training, education support, sighted guides and much more with your support.

With your support, we can help children and adults to live actively, independently, and well.

What your donations can buy:

£8 could support a working guide dog partnership for a day.

£16 could buy a coat for one of our puppies in training.

£29 could provide a child with an hour of support with an Habilitation Specialist.

£48 enables us produce a tailor-made, large print book for a child with sight loss, so they they can enjoy reading just like their friends.

£125 could buy a starter kit for a new guide dog owner, containing everything they need to start life wither their new guide dog.
