Guide Dogs NSW/ACT have been involved with Sculptures in the Garden since the beginning and in that time over $160,000 has been raised for the organisation.

Guide Dogs have a committee of roughly 30 members with half of their team volunteering to be a part of the sculpture event each year. The volunteers are an enormous support to the event and SIG couldn’t take place without them. The volunteers run the food tent making delicious salads, sandwiches, bacon and egg rolls and sausage sandwiches to feed all of the hungry visitors. They also man the gate collecting donation entry fees, run raffles and supervise parking. They are also very persuasive when asking their husbands, partners and friends to lend a hand over the weekend. With so many jobs to be done, it takes quite a few hands to ensure it all runs as smoothly as it does.
