Guide Dogs doesn’t just provide guide dog partnerships. We have a whole range of services, information and advice that can support people with sight loss, at whatever age or stage of their condition, and whatever they want to achieve. We’re the largest employer of specialists dedicated to helping children overcome the challenges of sight loss, and we have a wide range of services for them.  We teach vital mobility and life skills, helping children to understand and explore the world around them. Because children with sight loss need to learn in a different way we bring the world to life through sensory play, description, touch, sounds and textures.  And from helping families to choose the right nursery, school or college to working with teachers and special education staff on their behalf, we’re here to ensure children with sight loss have the same opportunities as everybody else.  We also provide large print, tailor-made books through our Custom Eyes Books service, as well as a wide range of devices, technologies, software and sensory toys to use at home. You can find out more here. If you'd like to find out more about the services we offer, please click here to get in touch - we'd love to hear from you!
