Volunteer's week

Our volunteers are changing lives - be one of them. Volunteer now.

Guide Dogs is one of the UK’s leading sight loss charities. Our expert staff, volunteers and life-changing guide dogs help people with sight loss live the life they choose. We couldn’t continue our vital work without your generous donations and our amazing volunteers.

We believe that no one should be held back by a vision impairment. We campaign for the rights of people with sight loss to help them access public transport, our town centres and other public services.
