Donate An Hour for Guide Dogs
Can you give us just one hour of your day on Tuesday 6th October 2015 between 7am-7pm to help us celebrate Guide Dogs Week?Every hour, another person in the UK goes blind.When someone loses their sight, the charity Guide Dogs is there to make sure they don’t lose their freedom as well. By donating just an hour of your time, you will be making a huge difference to the lives of people who are blind or partially sighted.The charity Guide Dogs does not receive any government funding. The lifetime cost of one guide dog is £50,000 and we rely on the generosity of donations to fund our life-changing work. Guide Dogs Week runs from 3-11 October and we are holding our largest collection across the capital on Tuesday 6th October. In order to make the most of the day, we need to have as many collectors as possible on the streets. We have designated several collection points across London already, including one outside Ealing Broadway Station. If none of these are convenient for you, we would be happy to consider other suggestions.If you are able to help us with this for even an hour - before/after work, lunchtime or during the day - you will be helping a person living with sight loss to regain their freedom of movement and independence.Alternatively, you may prefer to fundraise for us in your workplace through a collection or event such as cake sale.
