Whether you’re struggling to find the perfect gift for the person who has everything, or you’re looking for a last-minute stocking filler, The Bow Project, a new program by Guide Dogs Victoria, allows you to support the organisation’s life-changing services while solving your gift-giving dilemmas.
Named after Australia’s first trained Guide Dog, Beau, purchasing a gift card from The Bow Project will help to fund a range of vital projects.
With prices to suit any budget, there’s lots of ways to support Guide Dogs Victoria, whether it’s providing food for a Guide Dog in training for one week (RRP $18), or going all out and enabling a 10-week old Guide Dog litter to attend their very first puppy training class (RRP $1,050).
