Guide Dogs

We are Guide Dogs. And we’re here to help people with sight loss live the life they choose. Children and adults. Friends and family. Whoever you are, our expert staff, volunteers and life-changing dogs are here for you. To help you live actively, live independently and live well. Together, we can help people affected by sight loss live their lives to the full.

Every six minutes in the UK one more person loses their sight.

Every day, 250 more people join the 2 million already living with sight loss.

And this number is set to double.

We are Guide Dogs and we are here to help those affected by sight loss live the life they choose.

Volunteering with Guide Dogs 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!

Whether you’re interested in a volunteering opportunity with our dogs, helping people with a vision impairment in your community or getting involved with a group where you live, you’ll be making a massive difference to the lives of children and adults with sight loss. And you’ll also get to have amazing experiences that you genuinely couldn’t find anywhere else.

We simply couldn’t deliver our vital services without our incredible volunteers. Every person is an individual at Guide Dogs, so whether it’s raising a puppy or making a difference in your community, you can make a change that matters.
