As Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Cardiff we are delighted to have been given the opportunity to raise funds for this wonderful charity. We have a long standing connection with Guide Dogs Cymru, having been volunteers with them over ten years. Guide dogs are literally life changers. They give people the confidence to be out and about as well as providing emotional support and company. The sad truth is that there are just not enough dogs to meet demand. There is no upper or minimum age for guide dog partnerships. In 2020 the youngest guide dog owner was 14 and the oldest was 97. We would be very grateful if you could support this worthwhile cause.
