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.

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!
