Guide Dogs Publishes Coronovirus Advice for Service Users and Volunteers

Guide Dogs, the national charity providing a range of services and support for Guide Dog users have created a dedicated Coronavirus section on their website.

The pages provides advice for their service users as well as advice for their volunteers.

The Guide Dogs organisation explain that their “top priority is the welfare and safety of the people we support, our volunteers, staff and our dogs.”

“We have a plan which we are reviewing daily based on the latest advice from the government and are tracking the current approaches being deployed across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We remain committed to helping people with sight loss lead the life they choose through our services and as far as is possible, business at Guide Dogs continues as usual.”

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)
