    Guest Info: Gavin Neate

    “Working for Guide Dogs I was aware that if you gave someone tips on how to interact immediately before an interaction you could remove much of the anxiety either party has about an arrival.

    I left Guide Dogs and developed WelcoMe a free service that gives disabled people a chance to explain to staff members how best to help them when they arrive.”
