If there’s a better excuse to get together over a cuppa and cake, we haven’t heard it!
Your dogs
“I absolutely love baking and finding a way to do it for a good cause was so rewarding. My two favourite things are puppies and cake, and I managed to raise £320!”.
Your school
“We are thrilled to have hosted this bake sale to support Guide Dogs. Our students put in so much effort, and it’s amazing to see their dedication and passion come together for such a meaningful cause.”
Your workplace
“We loved taking part in Make Every Cuppa Count and can’t wait to participate again next year. The homemade cakes sold out by lunchtime and we raised £197, so next year we’ll be baking double to raise even more important income for Guide Dogs.”
Thank you for signing up to Make Every Cuppa Count. With your incredible fundraising, we can support people living with sight loss to have greater freedom and independence when you make, bake or brew to raise vital funds for Guide Dogs.
Where your money goes
Every day, 250 people in the UK start to lose their sight. When that happens, we’re here to make sure they don’t lose their freedom as well. Our services enable thousands of people with sight loss to lead confident, independent and fulfilling lives.
- £16 could buy a ‘puppy in training’ jacket for one of our puppies.
- £80 could buy a puppy raising kit for the volunteers who look after our puppies during their first year.
- £141 could buy a starter kit for a guide dog partnership, containing everything they need to start their new life together.
Why Make Every Cuppa Count?
As we rely on donations to continue our life-changing work, by making every bake and biscuit count, your fundraising means that you can make a difference to people living with sight loss. Every cake, cookie and crumb has the power to change lives by raising vital pounds and pennies.
Before being partnered with buddy dog Gwen, 11-year-old Freya felt worried whenever she was alone in a room at home. Gwen’s kind, calm and protective nature has made her the perfect companion for Freya, boosting her confidence with unconditional love, and bringing joy to her whole family.
Freya and her little sister Ella raised money for Guide Dogs to say thank you for their buddy dog, Gwen, by baking some dog friendly biscuits which they sold outside their home and raised £130.
Gwen has definitely helped with my confidence a lot. When she’s around me I always feel really safe and it’s like I get a power boost.
