What difference will you make?

Guide Dogs is a volunteer led organization and without the hard work and dedication of our 14,000 volunteers across the UK we would not be able to provide the life changing support that we do to people living with visual impairments and their friends and families. You would be helping to support a local fundraising group full of passionate dedicated volunteers which help to raise vital funds to support the work we do and the services we provide.
