Guide Dogs provide mobility and freedom to blind and partially-sighted people throughout the UK. We also campaign for the rights of those with vision impairments, educate the public about eye care and invest millions of pounds in eye disease research.
 

Independence
The freedom a guide dog can give is little short of miraculous and we have provided guide dogs to over 20,000 people since 1931. Visit www.guidedogs.org.uk/dogs to discover more, download our great leaflets at www.guidedogs.org.uk/pups/freebies.asp, or even arrange to have a Guide Dogs speaker visit your school by emailing guidedogs@guidedogs.org.uk

 

Eye Health
An enormous amount can be done to help prevent sight loss and Guide Dogs' unique Healthy Eyes website - which can be found under www.guidedogs.org.uk/eyes - looks at all aspects of protecting sight - from taking an eye test to eating oranges! There are also special areas for kids and teachers. You can help spread the message about looking after your eyes too, by taking part in Shades for a Day - have fun and look cool! - www.guidedogs.org.uk/shadesforaday

 

Campaigns
Many thousands of people in the UK are vision-impaired and Guide Dogs campaigns alongside them for rights that most sighted people take for granted. Feel like a taking a trip to the shops? Maybe going out for the day by train? Most vision-impaired people are more than capable of getting around independently and the attitude of others is often more of a barrier than their lack of sight.
