Donating to Guide Dogs
Every day 250 people start to lose their sight in the UK. Can you help us be there for people with sight loss by donating to our life-changing work?
Adjusting to life with a vision impairment can be incredibly difficult. Our services help thousands of people with sight loss to lead confident, independent and fulfilling lives. But we know there are many more who could benefit from our support.
Sponsor a guide dog puppy and follow their journey to becoming a life-changing guide dog. It's the perfect gift for yourself, or for a special someone this Christmas!
Ways you can donate
Every donation counts - we rely on donations to continue our life-changing work and there are many ways you can donate.
You can make a simple one-off or monthly donation, or pay in your fundraising to help fund our vital services. Every pound makes a difference.
Sponsor a puppy from just £1 a week and watch them grow from an eight-week-old bundle of fur into a fully-qualified guide dog.
Leaving a gift in your Will helps us provide the guide dogs of the future as well as expand our other important services.
Donating in memory of your loved one is an incredible way to remember someone special and provide a lasting tribute.

Boost your charity donation with Gift Aid
By signing up to Gift Aid you can boost the value of your donation by 25% and it won’t cost you a penny extra. If you’re a UK taxpayer, we can claim 25p on every £1 donated from the Government. This means if you donate £10, it’s actually worth £12.50!
Why donate to charity?
When you donate to Guide Dogs, you’re helping to make a real difference to people’s lives. Our guide dogs and other vital services are the key to a life of independence and freedom, whether that’s helping people get to work, to a regular exercise class or to the shops and back.
Whatever you can give, we’re so grateful for your support. Did you know less than 1% of our income comes from Government funding? This means we rely on donations to deliver our vital work. And don’t forget, you can also make a difference by shopping online at our Guide Dogs Shop.
Thanks to you, we can continue to help thousands of people live actively, independently and well with sight loss.
How your donation helps
“My sight has been stable over the last five years, but I could wake up tomorrow and it could be gone. Nothing is guaranteed, but knowing I have support from my family and guide dog Jacqui makes me feel less afraid.” Claire
“The impact our Guide Dogs habilitation specialist has had on our lives can’t be understated. It’s the little things and the big things, they all add up. No matter the challenge she helped us find a way through.” Georgina, Ralph’s mum
“After about five weeks working with my Guide Dogs Vision Rehabilitation Specialist, I was able to walk to the coffee shop on my own. The whole experience was liberating – I hadn’t been out on my own for 15 years.” Seema
