Guide Dogs for the Blind

My name is Pamela Munro and I am the information Officer for Scotland for the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.


I am trying to get as much information out to the general public as possible about Guide Dogs and the services that we provide.


There are many people out there who do not realise that they may be able to apply for a guide dog.


You do not need to have lost all of your sight to apply for a guide dog, neither do you need to be registered as blind or partially sighted.


Costs can be something that they also question. For a person who is accepted as a guide dog owner it costs them 50p. We pay for all the training, and equipment and we can pay for vet bills and food bills if needed.


The fact that we work in different communities, work with clients who have  additional disabilities, means that we treat each person as an individual.


Would you have a newsletter where I could get an article or an information point where information could be displayed for peoples use.



Also is there an opportunity to come and talk to your service users and staff
.
