We don’t want you think that you are just sponsoring a puppy as our dogs
are much more than that. We consider all
of our dogs heroes.
Without your help and generosity we would struggle to survive and
provide mobility and independence to blind people in the UK. We need your support, no matter how large or
small. We will not dictate to you that
you must give £1, £2, £5 or any other amount per week or per month. What you give is entirely your choice and
what we receive is more than what we had before.
From breeding to qualification, which takes about 2½ years, costs the
charity approximately £36,000 but that’s not all. We promise to take care of our dogs
throughout their working life and retirement to ensure that they get the best
of care and be the best they can. This also
ensures that no blind person is financially discriminated in having their
natural right of freedom and independence.
As a totally independent charity, we do not get any funding from other
guide dog schools, government or statutory source. Although we may be considered for some grant
funding, the majority or our income is through fundraising, street collections
and from kind people like you.
So if you can help us in any way to raise funds to cover costs of our
dogs – training, vet, insurance, equipment, food and much more – then please
consider supporting us.
You could consider donating money as and when you can or regularly by
standing order. You could look at our
wish list for other ideas to help.
If you are in no position to help us financially then look at our other
ways to raise funds through everyday tasks that will cost you nothing or donate
your time as that could be more valuable to us.
