Fundraiser

As a fundraising volunteer for Guide Dogs, you’ll be part of a team in your local area that shares stories about what we do and raises vital funds to help people with sight loss live the life they choose. From planning events and helping at collections, to placing our iconic guide dog collection boxes with local businesses – you’ll get to hear inspiring stories, meet incredible people and dogs, and see the difference you’re making firsthand.

We’ve got volunteer roles to suit all passions, skillsets and schedules. You can make the role your own and you only need to take on as much as works for you. In return, you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing you’re supporting people with sight loss by raising funds for our life-changing guide dogs and other vital services. You’ll also gain experiences, memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

"The friendships we’ve made from volunteering are fantastic. So, if you’re sitting at home, or looking for something to do come and be part of the team." Tommy, Volunteer Fundraiser

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.
