The Guide Dogs Central Coast Volunteer Support Group will hold a fundraising stall at the Her Cave market day at Kanwal on Saturday, November 18, from 9am-2pm.

The group formed in 1983 at an afternoon tea organised by head office at the Long Jetty RSL Club.

Ever since, volunteers have been active in fundraising in the surrounding areas from The Entrance to the Peninsula.

The group continues to be visual in the community, managing a number of fundraising stalls each year at shopping centres across the Central Coast with members available to share their experiences with visitors and discuss how Guide Dogs provides free services to help people with impaired vision.

“We look forward to participating in this special market day managed by Her Cave,” Central Coast Guide Dogs President Merran Rudder said.

“(It is) an accredited community based non-profit charity where women are encouraged to come together and enjoy creating things and sharing their skills,

“Our fundraising stall will have a variety of Guide Dogs merchandise that will make great Christmas gifts – come along and say hello to members of our dedicated volunteer support group.”

The market day will be held at the Kanwal Community Hall in Pearce Rd.
