About Guide Dogs

Guide Dogs for the Blind help people with sight loss live the life they choose.

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.

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.

Join the Guide Dogs Community. Together we will be helping more people with sight loss to live actively, independently and well.
