#EveryDay working @guidedogs are changing the lives of people who are blind or visually impaired. Here’s a little montage from this morning showing a black lab retriever guiding to a train station, guiding througn central London to Westminster near the Commons.


It’s the final countdown with £335 to go to name a guide dog pup, Hope and all in just over two weeks. What a cracking effort.

OK, 2022 has been a tough year personally. On my way home, I realised that what's needed is HOPE - so, purely personal, but I'm going to try to raise £5,000 between now and Christmas to name @guidedogs pup HOPE - can you help? justgiving.com/fundraising/ho…

Well done @guidedogs Sammy

The @BBCNews newshound, @guidedogs Sammy has just shunted me out of the way. He’s heard my voice track for the @BBCBreakfast report I’ve done for this morning and says he thinks he can do a better job.

Would you believe, this ad hoc clip at great Portland Street underground station has had 155,000 impressions? I will never fully understand social media but thank you so much.

Do @guidedogs forget routes after #Lockdown ? Well this is how Sammy copes with great Portland Street underground station after a whole year. We’ve been in, but not to this tube station & mostly cabs till ow.

Accused of faking #Blind - I joined tick-tock to educate the world about visual impairment. Trolls and cyber #bullies immediately theorised that I’m faking my disability. I made this #TikTok to prove them wrong. Not all blind people have prosthetic eyes to do this.

Visual description: The short clip is a timelapse from a follow cam showing me and Marty walking up the street. It should be relatively stable and give you a sense of how my guide dog guides me.

Here’s what 2 @guidedogs look like when they are working together during the pandemic with 2 @GoProUK cameras. The @guardian claimed the other day that Guide dogs are anxious, unhappy and depressed. Watch and decide whether you think that was accurate youtu.be/JxXnMn_p5yc


Evening all. Covid-19 has presented challenges for our fundraising activities. Watch this space and thank you for your support.

Heading in to record the voice track (com) for Monday’s @BBCPanorama , “Fighting for an education” produced by @LambentP more details soon but we think it’s a must watch on Monday at 7.35pm on @BBCOne (featuring nice shots of @guidedogs Sammy, of course)

Starring @guidedogs Sammy

How do you read a script when you can’t see it? @SeanDilleyNEWS explains all, as he and his guide dog Sammy report on Johnny Depp's libel case against The Sun from outside the Royal Courts of Justice. #DiverseStorytelling



Good newa @HertsPolice - we intend to attend Court.

Three people have been arrested on suspicion of stealing a lifesize @guidedogs charity box from the Westgate in #Stevenage . One was seperately arrested for an alleged theft of another counter top box last week. More at conclusion of case.

Can you help? This is the second charity box we have had stolen in the last week. A man is helping police with enquiries in relation to the attached video But another life-size box with around £500 in it has also been stolen from the Westgate shopping centre.


We would like to say thank you too @HertsPolice officers and specifically @StevenagePolice who have arrested a 31-year-old on suspicion of several theft offences. Stealing @guidedogs boxes Is it from some of the most vulnerable in society.

We are very sad to say that someone has stolen one of our collection boxes. If you know The individual in this photograph, @HertsPolice as he may be able to assist them with their enquiries.
