Charity of the year

There are so many fun and morale-boosting fundraising activities that your team can get involved in when you choose Guide Dogs as your charity of the year partner.

Whether virtual, in the workplace or in your community. From taking part in our Guinness World Record holding Guide Dogs Tea Party, fun quiz nights, a sporting or a sponsored challenge, we can offer inspiration and fundraising ideas that provide something for everyone.

Alternatively, if your fundraising team wants to get creative with their own ideas, we'll make sure you have everything you need to make your charity of the year calendar of events a success.

Working with Guide Dogs as your charity of the year partner, we can provide you with unique opportunities to see first-hand the difference you are making to people living with sight loss in your local community. This not only supports wider corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals but helps with employee engagement and demonstrates to customers your commitment to making a difference to a charitable cause.

Be part of a guide dog puppy's journey

Making us your chosen charity can also provide the wonderful opportunity to be at the heart of a guide dog puppy's story. By fundraising to Name a Puppy, your team can gift a name to a guide dog pup and follow their journey as they aspire to become a future life-changer. You'll gain an exclusive insight into the world of Guide Dogs through the pupdates you'll receive.

Invite a speaker

During your charity partnership, why not invite one of our specially trained volunteer speakers along to a meeting or event? It can be a great way to motivate and engage your team and, in many cases, you will have the opportunity to meet one of our incredible dogs.

Many of our speakers have directly benefitted from our services and will tell you their inspiring story of sight loss and the life-changing difference that our support has made. Your will learn about some of the challenges faced by people affected by sight loss and see first-hand how your fundraising is making a difference.

If you have any other ideas of initiatives for your charity of the year partnership, and how you and your team can support our life-changing work, please get in touch - we'd love to hear from you.
