Every six minutes in the UK, one more person loses their sight, and the number of people living with sight loss is set to double by 2050. Guide Dogs is here to help people with sight loss live the life they choose. Our support is lifelong, and our services are for everyone – children and adults, friends and family.

Nearly two out of three life-changing guide dogs are only made possible by gifts left in Wills. Over the past 90 years, we have trained the equivalent of one guide dog every day, and this wouldn’t have been possible without people leaving gifts in their Wills to Guide Dogs.

We’re best known for our iconic guide dog partnerships, but we have a wide range of services and support for everyone affected by sight loss, whenever they need us, whatever it takes.

We offer emotional support, advice on technology and education, mobility and life skills training, as well as large print books.

Leaving a gift in your Will can help to provide our life-changing services and the guide dogs of the future, to ensure thousands more people living with sight loss lead the life they choose. You can make a real difference to those living with sight loss, while still making sure your loved ones are taken care of first.
