Publications
Forward magazine
Forward is Guide Dogs’ magazine for supporters, clients and the general public. First published in 1943, each edition is packed with news, events and stories about the amazing people and dogs involved with us, from owners and volunteers to trainers and fundraisers.
Welcome to the Autumn/Winter 2024 issue of Forward!
We’ve captured the very first meeting between Alan Titchmarsh MBE and Titch, the guide dog puppy we’ve named after him, on our front cover. You can find out more about Titch’s blooming friendship with everybody’s favourite gardener in Star News on page 13.
Meanwhile we have reason to celebrate in this issue – this year we reached the milestone of matching our 400th buddy dog partnership. Buddy dog Hetty has changed the life of a young man named Dom and his family. Their story, on page 20, is a heart-warming read on a cold winter’s day.
There’s a fascinating piece about our membership of the International Guide Dog Federation in this edition. Can you guess which countries we’ve received guide dogs from? Or which nations have helped us diversify our breeding programme? Find out on page 15.
If you’re looking for the New Partnerships section, you can find it starting on page 30 in the accessible PDF linked below.
We hope you enjoy this edition of your magazine.
