Every six minutes in the UK one more person loses their sight.
Every day, 250 more people join the 2 million already living with sight loss.

We are Guide Dogs and we are here to help those affected by sight loss live the life they choose.
Since 1931, Guide Dogs has been supporting people with sight loss, helping them to lead confident and independent lives.
