The Guide Dogs for the Blind
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.
The charity employs 1000 professional staff in the UK supported by 10,000 volunteers, including puppy walkers, brood-stock holders, dog boarders and thousands of local fundraisers.
