Happy #SnoozySunday to all of our followers.

Guide dog owner Cynthia took her guide dog Gem, to meet her Puppy Walker recently.

Cynthia said ‘We were staying at our sons’ and found Janice, Gem's Puppy Walker lived nearby so we took Gem along for a catch up! Thank you to Janice and all the Puppy Walkers for all they do’

Today, we were at Serpentine Green recruiting Puppy Walkers around the Peterborough area. If you’re interested in finding out more, please visit our website:

Oliver and Unity recently enjoyed a free run at Peterborough embankment.

Both dogs were wary of the many Canada geese and swans! Happily neither went in the water.

It is coming up to matching time so there are a couple of clients waiting excitedly for visits. Fingers crossed!

More exciting fundraising news!

Friends of Ferguson Heritage donated £647 to the Kings
Lynn and District branch following a weekend of ploughing matches in
Southery.

Many thanks to those who raised the funds!

What a fantastic milestone, testament to the hard work and commitment of the Bury St Edmunds fundraising branch members. Thank you so much to everyone involved in achieving this incredible amount!

Oliver (yellow labrador guide dog in training) and Carri have done some long walks recently. Both end up pretty shattered afterwards!

One of our amazing volunteers and supporters, Sarah took on the Great North Run yesterday.

Sarah finished in just under 3 hours and raised a wonderful £385 for Guide Dogs.

Well done Sarah & thank you so much!

The award for the best behaved dog in the office goes to the lovely Unity. She has recently been spending some time with the Business Support team and once she gets snuggled up in her bed we often forget that she is here.

This week, Oliver and Carri were on the buses!

Oliver managed to relax for the 40 minute journey with only the odd bit of sniffing under the seats where dropped food may lurk.

It's important the dogs can sit in between seats as sometimes the disabled space is already in use.

Are you planning to attend the next Kings Lynn Guide Dog forum on 13th Sept?

If so, please note that the new venue will not be ready, so we will go back to the Kings Lynn Workers Club in Church Street, Kings Lynn. Same time 11am to 1pm. We hope to see you all there.

Last year, @gdcampaigns welcomed the launch of the #InclusiveTransportStrategy. We've written to the Government, asking them to make progress on their pledges to ensure people with sight loss can travel independently. To support us, sign the letter here: https://t.co/nu09K11SHR
