The ability to get around is vital in order to live a full life yet thousands of people with sight loss never leave home alone. We empower visually impaired people to do that and rely on the support of the public to fund the guide dog service.

About Our London Charity Partner Guide Dogs

Losing your sight shouldn't also mean losing your independence, confidence and freedom, but unfortunately, our world is a tough place when you cant see. In the UK, there are 360,000 people who are blind or partially sighted and half of them do not leave their homes alone.

Guide Dogs provide life-changing services:

- Guide Dogs

- Volunteer sighted guides (My Guides)

- Support for children and young people

- Orientation and mobility specialists

- Technology

- Support for friends and family

How fundraising can change peoples lives

£5: Two cups of tea can introduce someone with sight loss to a sighted volunteer for the first time.

£25: A white harness, the iconic symbol of a fully qualified guide dog, equipping them for their future partnership with someone with sight loss.

£140: A starter kit for a new guide dog owner all they need to start a life with their new companion.
