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 to help you.
Our people and dogs can help you get out and about with confidence, going wherever school, work, or play takes you – and knowing that your sight loss won’t hold you back.
The advice and skills we provide will give you the freedom to live life on your own terms, in your own way, so that you can achieve your hopes and ambitions, and do all the things that make you…you.
We will give you the support you need to be your best self.
