It's a win-win when your staff are inspired and united to make a difference in the lives of people with sight loss through exciting fundraising activities and events. It's a great way to motivate your people, promote team spirit and it provides an ideal opportunity to engage your customers in a meaningful way too.
We can provide a variety of employee engagement opportunities and ideas including fundraising events and activities, volunteering, sharing skills and expertise and payroll giving.
There are so many exciting fundraising ideas that your team can get involved in, whether virtual, in the workplace or in the community. From tea parties to charity bike rides, sporting events, bake sales, raffles or fun quiz nights, we can provide inspiration for fundraising initiatives that offer something for everyone!
As well as offering a calendar of fundraising activities to get involved with, we can support your own ideas by providing workplace fundraising packs and resources to get you off to a great start.
We can't achieve our life-transforming work without the support of our amazing volunteers. From raising our iconic guide dog puppies, being sighted guides, collecting funds through to supporting at events and more, our volunteers are paramount to our success.
Through employee volunteering for us, your staff can make a direct impact, supporting our work and helping people with sight loss live the lives they choose. In turn, they can benefit from learning new skills, team-building and meeting new people in the local community. They'll feel satisfaction from the positive impact they are making by doing something truly worthwhile.

You can invite one of our local inspiring speakers along to your workplace and learn more about Guide Dogs and the life-changing services we provide. We have a network of trained volunteer speakers across the UK who help us raise awareness through sharing their own personal inspiring stories. They'll tell your team about their own life experiences, from living with sight loss to volunteering for Guide Dogs.

For those who may not wish to get actively involved in fundraising but would still like to support our life-changing work, Payroll giving, or 'give as you earn', is a tax-free way that they can contribute.
This charitable giving option enables staff to donate directly and easily to Guide Dogs from their salary. We also have options for your company should you wish to further support our partnership with 'matched giving' donations.

Our event was a huge success with great feedback from everyone who attended. The highlight of the day was meeting a local guide dog owner and the fantastic volunteers responsible for raising guide dog puppies. Our team was so engaged that we decided to put Guide Dogs forward as our next charity partner.
