More information
Founded in 1976, by the late Mary Dunlop and our current President, Jim Dennehy, we are a unique organisation dedicated to providing services which bring mobility and independence to blind and visually impaired people as well as people with other disabilities. Our services include guide dog training, long cane training, courses in independent living skills and child mobility programme. We also provide Assistance Dogs for families of children with Autism – a first for Europe. All our services are provided free of charge. We rely heavily on volunteers to support us through fundraising, the raising of our dogs and in many other ways.
