Congratulations to our St Andrews & East Neuk Fundraising Branch, who have raised a staggering £27,000 at their annual golf day. 👏

More than 150 golfers participated in a lively Texas Scramble tournament, enjoying a fantastic day of sport, camaraderie, and support for Guide Dogs. 🦮

The event featured an exciting raffle and auction, with prizes and donations generously contributed by golf courses from across the country and a host of supportive local businesses.

The fundraising total exceeded all previous records set by the branch, thanks to the overwhelming generosity of players, donors, and attendees.

Special guest Wendy Chamberlain MP joined the day’s celebrations and assisted with the prize-giving ceremony, adding to the event’s sense of community and celebration.

Danny Rooney, branch coordinator and Guide Dogs puppy raiser, said: "We are absolutely thrilled with the success of this year’s Golf Day.

“The support we received—from golfers, donors, and volunteers—was truly inspiring. These funds will make a meaningful difference to the lives of people with sight loss."

The branch extends its heartfelt thanks to everyone who supported the event by donating prizes, buying raffle tickets, placing auction bids, or giving their time to help the day run smoothly.

The fundraising momentum will continue, with a team from the branch taking part in the Royal Parks Half Marathon next month, and a group set to run the London Marathon in April 2026—all in continued support of Guide Dogs.

In the segment, filmed at our Hamilton office, guide dog trainer Jacqui McVeigh took presenter Padruig through what it takes to turn a puppy into a life-changing guide dog. 🦮

Jacqui explained the importance and dedication of our incredible volunteers, before trainee guide dog Susan demonstrated her skills with an obstacle course.
