Guide dogs support group at Woy Woy

The Central Coast support group for Guide Dogs NSW-ACT will be at Woy Woy on Friday, March 4, selling merchandise and raffle tickets.

Members of the group will be available at Deepwater Plaza to share their experiences with visitors and discuss how Guide Dogs provide free services to help people with impaired vision.

Support group president Ms Margaret Grace said: "Every dollar from the community counts as Guide Dogs NSW-ACT only receives minimal government funding.

The cost to breed, train and raise one Guide Dog is now more than $35,000.

"We appreciate the support given to us by Central Coast Shopping Centres who provide space for our fundraising stalls and the wonderful generosity of the local community and supporters who continue to come along and purchase Guide Dog merchandise, and raffle tickets."

The support group's fund raising efforts are to help more people who are blind or vision impaired to move around safely and independently.

Fundraising stalls are held between 9am and 2.30pm,

The Central Coast Support Group meets on a quarterly basis and is always looking for new members to assist fundraising endeavours.

For further information, contact Ms Grace on 0409 536 168.
