Trish's Sponsored Swim

Event date: Wednesday 8th October

I’m raising funds in support of OpenSight and Guide Dogs – New Forest.

OpenSight has been an incredible source of support for me personally, providing help and guidance when I needed it most. They’re a small charity that often goes under the radar, receiving little recognition or funding, yet the impact they make is huge.

I also want to support Guide Dogs, as I’m currently on the waiting list and have already received valuable mobility training from them. Part of these funds will go towards naming a guide dog puppy in memory of a much-loved local fundraiser who sadly passed away earlier this year. She dedicated her life to the cause, fostering and training more than 34 puppies in her home, and this will be a lasting tribute to her legacy.

By donating, you’ll be helping two incredible organisations continue their vital work, supporting people with sight loss and ensuring their independence and confidence.
