The Balbriggan/North County Dublin Branch of Guide Dogs has been busy over the last few months in the lead up to Christmas. Our branch attended the Balbriggan Pumpkin Patch over the bank holiday in October and raised a fantastic €484.79 over the weekend. Our Branch also had a fantastic coffee morning at Skinny Batch Bakery in Lusk on the 4th November where coffees were flowing a plenty and a great time was had by all with some delicious cakes which made it all the better. We are delighted to have raised €284.70 on the day. A big thank you to everyone who visited us at both the pumpkin patch and Skinny Batch Bakery and of course, Skinny Batch Bakery owner Sharyn Hayden and her team for supporting us.
In November our Branch and volunteers attended SuperValu Balbriggan on Friday 13th, Saturday 14th and Millfield Shopping Centre, Balbriggan on the 28th and 29th November with our merchandise stand selling 2026 calendars, car raffle tickets and Christmas cards to name a few items! If you would like to get your hands on any of these items, please make sure to follow us on social media to find out where we’re going to be next.

Our last fundraiser of the year is on December 5th Friday in the strand bar rush 11 am to 5 pm
