Almost two million people in the UK are living with sight loss that has a significant impact on their daily lives. Of those, around 180,000 rarely leave their homes alone and lead lonely, isolated lives. Guide Dogs works for a world where people with sight loss are never left out of life, for a world where being blind or partially sighted is not what defines you. A world with enough support to make the challenges of sight loss no barrier to fulfilling hopes and dreams.

Anster Allsorts will be taking part in several running events where we will be supporting and hoping to raise some money for Guide Dogs. 
The group has close associations with the charity through one of our number being actively involved in training of young dogs and looking after dogs which have completed their guide dog service.     
We have five teams entering the Hairy Haggis relay at the Edinburgh Running festival at the end of May and there are also runners taking part in the Great North Run and the London Marathon later in the year.  The last two years have ben tough for all charities as many of their fund raising events have been curtailed by the Covid Pandemic.  As things begin to return to normal and mass participation running events begin to take place we are taking these opportunities to raise money for a very worthwhile cause.  

All monies raised goes direct to Guide Dogs so that they can continue to provide help and support to those in most need.  Any and all contributions will be greatly appreciated.
