Law firm Bower & Bailey is supporting Swindon Guide Dogs calendar for the third successive year following an excellent take-up of the 2014 and 2015 editions.

The charity supports 20 guide dog partnerships across the town at a cost of around £5 each a day – £36,500 annually.

Funds raised from the calendar’s sponsorship and sales help Swindon Guide Dogs meet these costs and provide its indispensable service.

All dogs featured in the 2016 calendar, which goes on sale in September, will be working guide dogs, retired guide dogs or puppies in training to be guide dogs in Swindon or Chippenham.

Around 1,000 copies of the calendar – priced at £5 each – will printed, potentially raising a further £5,000 for the charity.

Bower & Bailey’s sponsorship of the calendar has also helped raise awareness of how a gift in a will can benefit Swindon Guide Dogs. Two in three guide dog partnerships are funded by gifts in wills, according to Swindon Guide Dogs chairman Alan Fletcher.

He said: “We have been delighted to work with Bower & Bailey over the past two years. Their support has been fantastic and they are genuinely passionate about the work that we do. We are very excited to launch our 2016 calendar with the firm in September after the resounding success we have had with the previous editions.” 

Bower & Bailey partner Alison Hill added: “At Bower & Bailey we are extremely proud to be involved with projects that benefit the local community, especially the excellent work of Swindon Guide Dogs.

“Through our sponsorship of the calendars, we have always received a tremendous reaction and we can’t wait to launch the new calendars for 2016. Our support stretches further than this; it has also been great to introduce Alan to members of the Swindon business community, enhancing the network and support for Swindon Guide Dogs.”

The calendar will be available from Bower & Bailey Solicitors’ Swindon office in Cambridge House, 4 College Court, Regent Circus.

The firm also has offices in Oxford, Banbury and Witney.
