How your company can get involved with Guide Dogs

Together, we can transform lives

Your support could help us be there for parents as they come to terms with their child’s sight loss diagnosis, empower a child to reach for a toy, or match someone with a guide dog so they can step outside with confidence.

This life-changing impact is only possible with the support of partners like you.

Working with Guide Dogs is more than charity—it’s a strategic way to deliver real social impact, align with your company values, and engage employees and customers meaningfully.

From fundraising and volunteering to cause-related marketing, we offer meaningful ways to get involved while meeting your CSR goals, and our dedicated team will support you every step of the way, showing you the real impact of your support.
