Flagship corporate partners

Together, we can do something amazing

We have the expertise and determination to help people with sight loss live the life they choose. But we need visionary corporate partners to join us. With your support, passion and capability, you can help us change the lives of more people than we ever could on our own, and help us improve their independence and mobility.

Extraordinary partnerships built around shared value

Together, we can create a bespoke partnership that has synergy with your business values and corporate social responsibility objectives. A strategic partnership that demonstrates a lasting life-changing impact for people with sight loss.

You can be at the forefront of purpose-led initiatives. As your chosen charity partner, we'll help you demonstrate your commitment to positive social change so that you can build a stronger foundation of support from your employees, customers and stakeholders.

A bespoke partnership programme designed to make a difference

Our dedicated National Corporate Partnership team will collaborate with you to build a tailored charity partnership programme based on your specific goals. Your team can get involved and inspired through a wide range of fundraising and awareness activities that will help make a remarkable difference in helping us support adults, children and young people affected by sight loss.

Inspire and engage your team with a multitude of fun and creative corporate fundraising events, sponsored challenges and activities that are individually and collectively rewarding.

As your new charity partner, we can work closely with you to develop a programme tailored to your requirements, with employee engagement opportunities that offer something for everyone.
As part of your corporate partnership, we can help create education days or workshops for your team. These can include demonstrations from our guide dog training team or blindfold walk experiences.

You could even book one of our volunteer speakers. Our speakers will share their inspiring stories about the challenges of living with sight loss and how our services have transformed their lives.
As part of your corporate partnership, you could name one of our future life-changing puppies - an incredible first gift that gives the puppy its identity. You'll be able to follow their unique journey with us, gaining insights into the world of guide dogs through regular pupdates.

Depending on the level you choose, you could meet the puppy you have named in person or virtually too. You'll also receive a final pupdate and thank you, telling you all about the future role of the puppy you named.

Your team will be at the heart of a puppy's story with a lasting legacy to be proud of.

We're a national organisation with a strong local presence. A household name, Guide Dogs is ranked number four in the YouGov Charity Brand Index and we are multi-award winners for marketing campaigns.

Our partners can benefit not only from our experienced National Corporate Partnership team, but also from our 20 local community teams, six regional centres, state-of-the-art National Centre and our network of over 1,400 staff and 17,000 passionate volunteers across the UK.

Our iconic dogs and the profound life-changing impact they have on the lives of those affected by sight loss means that Guide Dogs has a unique and special place in people's hearts.

Toyota prides itself on being a good corporate citizen and this means being active in the local community through charitable donations, financial support, provision of pro bono workshops and staff volunteering. It's easy to be a good corporate citizen when times are good but it's more important to be one when times are hard.
