By volunteering at one of the hundreds of collections or events during October, supporters will also have the chance to meet new people, learn more about Guide Dogs’ work.

Fundraising campaigns manager Pam White said: “This is the first time we have run an appeal across a whole month and we want to mobilise our brilliant supporters across the country to help us take seven young pups and set them on their way to becoming life-changing guide dogs.

“By donating just an hour of your time to help local fundraising efforts, you can help us reach more people with sight loss and ensure they don’t miss out on the things we all take for granted, like going to work and visiting family and friends.”
