You can make a difference

Guide Dogs

Guide Dogs exists to provide life-changing services to the 360,000 people who are registered blind or partially sighted, and the two million people in the UK living with sight loss.

Children and adults. Friends and family. Our expert staff, volunteers and life-changing dogs are here to help people affected by sight loss live actively, independently and well.

We’ve been on this journey since our first guide dog partnerships were formed in 1931. We are best known for our world-famous guide dogs, but our work now encompasses so much more. In recent years, we have expanded our services with and beyond our dogs to help thousands more people with different needs lead confident and fulfilling lives.

We already provide life-changing services to thousands of visually impaired people; we know too there are thousands more who could benefit from our support.

We will be led by the needs of our customers and will provide services and support tailored to their specific needs.

By introducing new services, embracing new technologies, digitising some of the ways we provide services and collaborating with other charities and organisations, we will be able to support thousands more people living with sight loss than we do today.

What our charity partners say

We’re so pleased to be working with Giveacar, to provide an easy and efficient way for everyone who’s passionate about mental health to support Mind. Over the years we’ve received over £29,000 from generous people who have chosen to donate the proceeds from their car to Mind. This amount of money could help Mind keep Side by Side open for 5 and a half weeks. Side by Side is Mind’s online community where anyone can join, talk and find support. 24/7. Right now, mental health support is needed more than ever. We’re so grateful to Giveacar and their customers for […]

We have been absolutely delighted to take part in the Giveacar scheme. We have had several cars donated to us through this scheme and it provides us with an additional way to riase very much needed funds to continue improving the lives of animals in The Gambia. It’s such an easy scheme to use and is easy for us as the charity, as well as being easy for th person who needs to scrap their car too.

Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust

So far, we have received an amazing £37,947.11 through Giveacar donations. Today, 771 million people don’t have clean water close to home and 1.7 billion people don’t have access to a proper toilet. Just £15 can help provide one person with safe water. Help us reach everyone everywhere with safe water, clean toilets and good hygiene by 2030. Thank you!
