Assistance Dog Week 🐾

This week is all about celebrating the incredible dogs that help people with disabilities live more independent, fulfilling lives. From guide dogs for the visually impaired to hearing and mobility assistance dogs — these amazing companions do so much more than you might think!

“My guide dog Sparky, a yellow Lab/Retriever, changed my life. Since qualifying with him in 2017, I’ve gained freedom, confidence, and a truly loyal friend. Training and trusting him took time, but every step was worth it.” – Harriet, NAB Communications Assistant.

Want to learn more or show your support? Reach out to NAB or give us a call on 01604 719193. Let’s celebrate these hardworking heroes together.

Carl Peach has surpassed 7.5 million steps on the road to completing his challenge.

Since deciding to take on a mammoth task, walking 10 million steps for NAB, Carl has experienced many ups and downs. From pains and injuries that stopped the challenge in its tracks, to launching a public speaking career and starting to write his own book. It has truly been a rollercoaster.

If you would like to show your support for Carl and his incredible efforts, please donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/10millionstepchallenge

Making memories that last ☀️🌊

Thanks to your kind donations, support and legacies, we are able to run amazing trips like our most recent adventure to Great Yarmouth.

A coach full of NAB clients travelled to the east coast to spend a day paddling in the sea, playing arcade machines and carefully keeping an eye out for seagulls as they enjoyed their fish and chips.

Our next trip is to the Musical Museum Christmas Concert in London. If you would like to join us on the 27th November, please call 01604 719193 for details.
Picture Description: 5 photos from our trip to Great Yarmouth.

Congratulations to Ian Spence, who braved the 418ft descent from the Northampton Lift Tower last week on an absolutely sweltering afternoon, raising an unbelievable £1,125.38 for NAB.

Ian was cheered on by his son, Hugh, who NAB supported when he left school. He is now a member of the management team and has worked here for over 15 years.

Ian had this to say about taking on this challenge:
“I want to raise money for NAB so they can continue to help the blind and partially sighed with all the great services they provide. Without them I don’t know what my son’s life would be like.”

There are thousands of other children, adults and families in Northamptonshire that, like Hugh, could greatly benefit from the kind and caring support of NAB.

There’s still time to donate and support Ian’s fundraiser! Please go to https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/ianabseil25
