What does “Independence” mean in the life of a person with vision impairment (VI)? When living with VI, everyday life can feel unfamiliar even in a familiar environment.

Celebrate International Guide Dog Day (IGDD) with us!

This year, in conjunction with IGDD, Guide Dogs Singapore Ltd (GDS) is organising a Virtual Flag Day 2022  fundraiser from now till 31 May 2022! Join us to pledge your support for our guide dog heroes and the team of dedicated professionals behind every successful pair of handler and guide dog.

Last year, we welcomed three new dogs-in-training - Eve, Jade and Laurie! On behalf of our clients who will be paired with the three dogs, we thank you for enabling them to have greater independence and mobility.

There are currently six clients on our list waiting to be paired with guide dogs. Your support will bring us closer to our goal of raising $150,000 and help more GDS clients live the independent life they desire.

Join us to celebrate Season of Giving 2021, from December to January, as we recognise the determination and perseverance our friends with VI have shown to regain their mobility.

It is also a great time for us to give back and be thoughtful to the needs of those with visual impairment in our midst this festive season. Find out more and donate today!
