Reading community team

Here to help 

Our team in Reading is here to help people with sight loss live the life they choose. We cover Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey and offer a range of services for adults and children with visual impairment. These include guide dogs, buddy dogs, life skills, sighted guiding and information and advice.

If we can support you or someone you know, or you'd like to know more about how you can get involved through volunteering or fundraising, please get in touch on 0800 781 1444 or via information@guidedogs.org.uk.
