Volunteer clothing
As a Guide Dogs volunteer, you are entitled to order branded clothing if you wish to wear this within your role.
We also offer a free Guide Dogs-branded polo shirt to all volunteers, as outlined in your welcome email. All new clothing features our refreshed brand and colour palette and is exclusively reserved for registered volunteers and staff. The specifically designed range offers excellent quality and sit and has a wide range of items available (including t-shirts, polo shirts and lightweight waterproof jackets).
How to order clothing
We use a clothing supplier, Arco, who you will need to place an order with. You'll find all the information you need to do so below as well as a helpful user guide and detailed clothing catalogue.
Registering with Arco
- On the Arco website, click ‘register’ located at the top centre next to ‘sign in’ and above the search.
- You will only need to register once, then you will be able to place as many orders as you like for the duration of your volunteering with Guide Dogs.
- When registering for the first time, please ensure you enter your volunteer number in the ‘job title’ field, and wait for your verification email before ordering - this will be sent from volunteer@guidedogs.org.uk
