each partnership – food, vet bills,
intensive training – it’s a big promise.
But it’s one that can change a life
forever. With the help of your class and
school, it’s a promise we can keep.

Every life-changing
guide dog starts off as a
tiny, playful puppy and
now your class can follow
our class of guide dog
puppies in training.
It’s fun and rewarding -Your school
will have the unique opportunity to
sponsor a class of three real guide
dog puppies, getting ‘Pupdates’
on their progress. With
each Pupdate you’ll
receive teaching
resources and
class activity
sheets covering a
range of topics: from
how guide dogs train
to what it’s like to be
visually impaired, along
with take home freebies
for every child.
Your school can help us transform
the lives of blind and partially sighted
people. Around 180,000 blind and
partially sighted people in the UK
never leave home alone. So we
need your help to create more lifechanging guide dog partnerships.
The guide dog service
receives no government
funding. By sponsoring a class
of guide dog puppies your
school can help us to continue
to provide and grow the
guide dog service.
Be part of a lifechanging story
By sponsoring your class of puppies
your school will be making a big
difference to the lives of blind and
partially sighted people. Don’t take
our word for it though; meet two
people we’ve already helped:

How can our school
get involved?
To get involved, raise £300 for Guide
Dogs. Once you’ve reached your target
you’ll start your amazing journey with your
very own class of pups - sharing every
step of their adventure as they grow
from tiny puppies into responsible guide
dogs. It’s the next best thing to being
right there.
