Guide Dogs Giving Circles

Every day, 250 more people join the two million already living with sight loss in the UK. Every six minutes, one more person loses their sight. And this number is set to double. 

We already provide life-changing services to thousands of visually impaired people. But we know there are thousands more who need our support.

By introducing new services with and beyond our dogs, and embracing new technologies, we will be able to support more adults, young people and children with sight loss to live the active and independent lives they choose.

Through our Guide Dogs Giving Circles programme, you can be at the forefront of helping us realise our ambitions and make an extraordinary difference to the lives of people with sight loss and their families.
