The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association

Guide Dogs exists to provide life-changing services to the 360,000 people who are registered blind or partially sighted, and the two million people in the UK living with sight loss. We've been on this journey since our first guide dog partnerships were formed in 1931. In recent years, we have expanded our services beyond our dogs to help thousands more people with different needs lead confident, independent and fulfilling lives. But we know we must do more to help the increasing number of people living with sight loss, and those who love and care for them. We know that by changing the way we work, becoming ever more diverse, embracing new technologies and collaborating with other forward-thinking organisations, we can significantly increase the number of people we support. With Guide Dogs by their side, every person with sight loss should have the confidence and support they need to live their life to the full. For general enquires please telephone 0118 983 5555.
