#Repost @GuideDogsUK: "Do you have the following? An unconventional hairstyle? A beard? Tattoos? Then we need you 👋

We’re issuing a national appeal for volunteers with distinctive characteristics to help socialise the next generation of guide dogs. Our new research shows that 1 in 5 (20%) of dog owners revealed their dogs have shown signs of fear or confusion when encountering unfamiliar physical attributes such as beards, facial piercings, tattoos, and unconventional hairstyles (Don`t worry you don`t actually need a beard or tattoos to volunteer at Guide Dogs. 😉)

Find out more about how our Puppy Raisers are vital in ensuring our puppies are given the best start to go on to become future life changers, through the introduction of new environments and experiences, whilst providing a loving home, click link in bio. 👆"

#Repost @BlindOnTheMove: "Navigating around a large space like Disney’s Epcot can be challenging when blind or visually impaired. @DisneyParks has done a great job of making tactile maps available to help with orientation to the parks.

Here are two examples. The first one is a large stationary map found in front of guest services. The second is a portable map that can be checked out from guest services for the day."
