Can you help us raise £50,000 for a minibus to support blind and visually impaired people.
Lancashire Post and Galloway’s are joining forces for an appeal - Gallowheels - to raise £50,000 for a new minibus.

Its current minibuses each clock up around 15,000 miles every year as they are used to transport visually impaired service users to: Galloway’s appointments; other appointments; guided activities; leisure activities; holidays and day trips; and training. The charity now needs to buy two new minibuses to keep up with demand and to support its service users.
