Welcome to our blog

Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh joined volunteers at a Guide Dogs puppy class as part of The Big Help Out.

We are hosting welcome events all around the UK to give those new to volunteering a taster of what it’s like to be a member of the Guide Dogs family, from Fosterers to Fundraisers and more. You, your family, and friends are all welcome to join us.

Guide dog owner Angela took part in the London Marathon in April with the aid of a guide runner, just weeks after doing the same distance at the Brighton Marathon.

New research shows that over half (55%) of guide dog owners say members of the public distract their dogs at least once a day, despite the danger it poses to the owner and dog. This International Guide Dog Day, remember 'don't dive on the dog' and leave guide dogs to work.

We want to increase awareness of the impact sight loss has and give people a new, exciting way to support us and get involved in Guide Dogs life-changing work. Our team has been working behind the scenes to create Stream250, a week-long streaming festival with the aim of raising £14,000 – enough money to support 250 guide dog partnerships for one week!

We are proud to announce our long-term partnership that aims to create a more inclusive travel experience.

We’re making good progress with the continued recovery and transformation of the guide dog service.

At Guide Dogs, we have seen that many police officers have decided to volunteer for our cause since retirement. After serving the public for many years, they chose to continue their support for the community in a different way, through volunteering. And since joining the Guide Dogs family, they have also found that volunteering has been a source of support for them too.
