Now here's a great excuse for a party! We want you to Get Together for Guide Dogs and organise a social or sponsored event with your friends, family, work colleagues or local community.
There’s no limit to what you can do: You could turn watching the football, tennis or latest reality TV programme into a fundraiser and raise money for Guide Dogs!
An elegant dinner party, a picnic in the park, or a barbecue in the garden. All delicious excuses for raising funds for your favourite charity!
Coffee mornings and cream teas - they're great for a good old gossip with friends. So why not charge your fellow dunkers for the priviledge and pass it on to Guide Dogs!
Dress up, dress down - or even get dressed in the dark? The choice is yours! Just do it in style and send us the funny photos (and the donations of course!)
Dont be shy - get your dancing shoes on. How about a groovy disco, a lively line-dance or maybe a salsa fiesta? You could even host your own 'strictly' ballroom competition!
Your event can make a real difference to the lives of visually impaired people
Guide dog Wanda has transformed the life of her owner Mhairi Thurston and those of her three small children. Besides guiding Mhairi, Wanda helps her to care for her three children and carry out many daily jobs, such as doing the shopping.
"Losing your sight is an incredibly isolating experience," Mhairi explained.
"I left my job as a teacher and as a consequence lost all confidence, I went from being very much a part of the community to feeling like a complete outcast. Getting Wanda has completely transformed my life and she has helped me feel like part of society again."
