Story

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.

James and Abigail have been volunteer puppy raisers for Guide Dogs since January 2023. We are currently on our 2nd puppy Bliss, with Criton now in training having moved on from us to the training centre in November.

We will be throwing ourselves out of a plane on 18th August to try to tackle our fears and raise money for this wonderful charity.

The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of people with sight loss never leave home alone. We empower visually impaired people to do that and rely on the support of the public to fund the guide dog service.
