Guide Dogs For The Blind Association
 United Kingdom  |  Disability

To deliver mobility and access services that meet the needs and aspirations of blind and partially-sighted people in the United Kingdom.

We provide mobility and freedom to blind and partially sighted people. We also campaign for the rights of people with visual impairment, educate the public about eye care and fund eye disease research. The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association consists of stakeholders, including our customers, volunteers, donors, employees and trustees. We work as a team to deliver mobility and access services that meet the needs and aspirations of blind and partially-sighted people in the United Kingdom. Guide Dogs was founded in 1931, and is a charity that receives no government funding for the guide dogs service. The guide dog service is entirely dependent on voluntary donations. The guide dog service costs the guide dog owner a nominal fee of just 50 pence to ensure equality for all in the UK. We are a world leader in breeding and training guide dogs and are a co-founder of the International Guide Dog Federation.
