Guide Dogs is here to help the two million people living with sight loss live the life they choose.
Their expert staff, volunteers and life-changing dogs are here to help people affected by sight loss live actively, independently, and well. We understand that living with sight loss is different for everyone and our services reflect that. From the very first enquiry, our experts talk and listen to people’s needs and aspirations and offer advice and provide support.
Over the years we’ve developed a wide range of services with and without dogs to support people living with a vision impairment. Children and adults. Friends and family. Whoever you are, our expert staff, dedicated volunteers and life-changing dogs are here to help you live actively, independently, and well.
We’re a charity, almost entirely funded by donations, and we are the world’s largest assistance dog organisation. As world leaders in puppy socialisation and dog training, we’re the only organisation to breed and train guide dogs in the UK. We’re also the largest employer of specialists dedicated to helping children and young people overcome the challenges of sight loss.
Every hour, someone in the UK starts to lose their sight. Help us make sure they don’t lose out on life by supporting us. Find out more about the many ways you can donate to Guide Dogs, including cash donations, leaving a gift in your Will and sponsoring a puppy.
Every puppy named through Name a Puppy will help us reach the needs of more people living with sight loss. Name a Puppy is your opportunity to give a guide dog puppy something truly unique: their name.
Or why not consider volunteering with Guide Dogs. It is life-changing – and not just for the people we support. Join one of our amazing roles and be part of the pack and you’ll quickly see how the time you give benefits people with sight loss, our four-legged friends and you!
