Fundraiser

As a fundraising volunteer for Guide Dogs, you’ll be part of a team in your local area that shares stories about what we do and raises vital funds to help people with sight loss live the life they choose. From planning events and helping at collections, to placing our iconic guide dog collection boxes with local businesses – you’ll get to hear inspiring stories, meet incredible people and dogs and see the difference you’re making first hand.

We’ve got volunteer roles to suit all passions, skillsets and schedules. You can make the role your own and you only need to take on as much as works for you.

You’ll have the full support of your team, a dedicated Guide Dogs volunteer manager and you’ll also receive any training you might need to help you in your role. We also cover all reasonable expenses related to your volunteering.

Benefits of joining a fundraising group -

• You’ll join a team of passionate, dog loving, committed people who all work together and support each other.
• You’ll meet lots of special dogs and learn about the different stages of guide dog training and how they support people with sight loss. You’ll get to meet young puppies, guide dogs in training and qualified guide dogs working in partnerships.
• You’ll visit new places, meet new people and build connections in your community.
• You’ll learn new skills and we’ll provide all the training you need to help you in your role.
• Our fundraising volunteer roles are flexible. You can take on as much or as little as you want, and you can fit the role around your other commitments or share a role with other volunteers in the team.

In return, you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing you’re supporting people with sight loss by raising funds for our life-changing guide dogs and other vital services. You’ll also gain experiences, memories and friendships that last a lifetime.
