A Guide Dogs campaigner adds an 'Open Doors for guide dogs and all assistance dogs'

Campaigning

We campaign for the rights of people with sight loss.

A guide dog can change the life of someone with sight loss, helping them to travel independently and with confidence. However, without the right laws and policies in place, this partnership could be undermined.

That’s why we're campaigning to remove barriers that prevent people with sight loss from living the life they choose.

We couldn’t drive change without the support of tens of thousands of campaigners. From writing to MPs to signing petitions, our community is making a real difference from home.

Campaigning is a great opportunity to work towards change for society. Not everyone has the confidence or strength to challenge situations and campaigning provides the platform to represent the voice of many, working towards inclusivity. Being a volunteer campaigner is very rewarding and enjoyable.
