Volunteer Story – Lin


1) How Long Have You Been Volunteering For Guide Dogs WA?
Just over three years
2) Why did you get involved?
After donating through purchases for many years, I decided to give in other ways, so decided to volunteer my time instead.
3) What do you do for GDWA?
I help out in the fundraising office, processing mail and receipts for donations, help out at fundraising events and I bake dog biscuits for sale at events. As a dog lover from way back, I have had “all flavours” of labradors over the years. I also used to help collect Mini Dogs.
4) What keeps you coming back?
The good company and banter in the fundraising office of course! I get cuddles with the Ambassador Dogs and meet new Guide Dogs in training. I love knowing that the time I give up each week goes towards helping bring the next Guide Dog into our training program.
Thank you, Lin for all the hard work that you do for us – we really appreciate it!
