Guide Dogs Week 2014 is taking place from 4-12 October. Last
year’s Guide Dogs Week was a spectacular success and, with your
support, this year’s going to be even better.
Like last year, we’re asking people to ‘Stand
Out For Guide Dogs’. The colour yellow will
feature prominently again, the colour of our iconic dog harness,
so if you have still got your yellow clothes from last year, you
might want to start dusting them off!
We
are using Guide Dogs Week to raise awareness of our
Forgotten Passengers Report, which highlights the need for
audio-visual announcements on buses if people with sight loss
are to travel confidently. Look out for the bright yellow Stand
Out Bus, which will be touring the country in the month leading
up to Guide Dogs Week. There will be a grand finale to the tour
in London.
We’ll be asking you to ‘Let’s Glow’ for Guide Dogs – through
collections, coffee mornings and a dress down day – all
brilliant ways to help raise money and get our message across.
There is also going to be a suitably high visibility accessory
for sale, and we’ll be using social media and our website to
spread the word too.
We
really hope you’ll throw yourselves into Guide Dogs Week this
year, so that we can help more blind and partially sighted
people get out and about on their own terms.
