All my life my Mum, Fiona Broadley has worked with blind/visually impaired children & young adults teaching mobility along with independent living skills. An opportunity arose for a Buddy Dog to work with Mum & the children at Priestley Smith School, whilst living with our family when not a working dog. Griff changed our lives for the better and had a huge impact on the children who worked with him too. Griff is now retired and it felt right to give something back - I’m running for guide dogs so they can continue to offer these incredible animals to people who would benefit from the freedom & joy they give. 

Every day, 250 more people join the 2 million already living with sight loss. This number is set to double by 2050, which is why our work is more important than ever before, however, we can only continue our life-changing work, such as our guide and buddy dog services, mobility training, education support, sighted guides and much more with your support.

"Having a guide dog is a life-changing experience and I'm phenomenally grateful to Guide Dogs for enabling me to be more independent" - Priya, guide dog owner.

How your funds will change lives .. £125 buys a Starter Kit for a new guide dog owner £332 could provide eight weeks of Early Diagnosis Support to a child with sight loss and their family £710 could buy a Birthing Kit containing all the essential equipment for a guide dog mum to safely deliver her puppies. It’s thanks to people like you that Guide Dogs can continue to provide life-changing services.
