Come and meet us


Come on an amazing journey with us - see our work in action

We’d love to show you just 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 (formerly called a puppy walker), one of our trainers and a guide dog owner, who'll share their personal and life-changing stories with you.
