What We Do
Our mission is to raise money to train and support three guide dogs from birth to retirement. We hope to fund this through public donations, the sales of our books and sponsorship deals through social media.
Every donation, no matter the size, helps to fund the breeding, training and life-changing support that guide dogs provide.
Our Story
While walking my dog in a local park, I met volunteers with two guide dog puppies in training. Curious, I asked how much it costs to train a guide dog from puppyhood through to retirement. I was amazed to learn that the figure ranges from £50,000 to £120,000 – a huge investment that is funded almost entirely through public donations.
That conversation inspired me to get involved and do what I could to help. This website was created to raise awareness and support for this incredible cause. We aim to raise funds through sponsorships, a percentage of proceeds from books I have written, and donations from members of the public. One of our most joyful initiatives invites people to share a photo or video of themselves with their dog on our website in return for a donation of any size. We especially encourage fun, light-hearted, and comical moments that celebrate the joy dogs bring into our lives.
Our mission is simple yet ambitious: to support the training of three guide dogs from puppies through to retirement. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, makes a real difference. With your help, we can change lives – one guide dog at a time.
