Guide Dogs for the Blind is a charity dedicated to providing mobility and freedom to blind and partially-sighted people. The association is able to provide guide dogs at low-cost to those in need.

The charity not only provides guide dogs, it also makes “a lifetime commitment to provide every guide dog owner with a guide dog for as long as they need one”.  With an expert staff training future canine companions, the organisation has successfully connected thousands of guide dogs with owners.

By funding ophthalmic research, the association has also shown it is forward thinking in its approach to eye care.
