Guide Dogs

The Role: Volunteering Opportunities

Whether you’re interested in a volunteering opportunity with our dogs, helping people with a vision impairment in your community or getting involved with a group where you live, you’ll be making a massive difference to the lives of children and adults with sight loss. And you’ll also get to have amazing experiences, and develop skills.

With opportunities volunteering with our dogs, whether you’re raising a puppy, or providing a temporary home to a guide dog in training around your working life, you can access our bespoke world-class training programme – this can help you train your own dogs or advance a future career in dog handling.

Or you could take on a role within one of our fundraising groups, which can fit around your work pattern:

• Bring your skills: Could you help organise a calendar of events, take care of ordering merchandise, or count the funds raised by your local team? Ask us about vacancies for lead fundraising volunteer roles such as group coordinators, treasurers, secretaries, and merchandise coordinators.

• Inspire others: Do you have lots of ideas that could motivate others? We need more inspirational volunteer leaders and fundraisers who can bring their energy and unique perspective to our local fundraising groups.

• Help take Guide Dogs into your community: Are you well connected or do you love going to new places and meeting new people? We need more volunteer fundraisers to help at our events and spread the word about our work.

Speak to our team on the day about our range of roles – please note role availability varies across the UK. You can make a change that matters.
