Come and meet us

Come on an amazing journey with us and see our work in action - we’d love to show you what a gift in your Will could do in your local area.

Our Reception Days are a chance for you to discover how gifts in Wills support our work, including providing guide dogs of the future. You'll meet staff, volunteers and some of our dogs too! You'll hear from a puppy raiser, a Guide Dogs member of staff and a guide dog owner, who'll share their personal and life-changing stories with you. 


My wife and I really enjoyed the Reception Day. It was inspiring to listen to the two ladies who spoke and a pleasure to talk to them both afterwards. The dogs who were there were delightful too! I know my mother would have been so pleased that her legacy was being put to such great use.
