What's Involved

You can make a difference

Our dogs are making an extraordinary difference in the lives of people with vision impairment and families of children with autism. Now you can too.

Our Fundraising Volunteers support us by raising funds and awareness which helps us to breed, raise, train, match and care for our dogs. Help us change a life.

You can raise funds:

• on your own;

• as part of one of our local Branches;

• with your company; or

• through your school or college.

Support is needed all over the country and every effort is very much appreciated. Join our community today!

"My thought is always, what if i lost my sight. Then you're dependent on IGDB to look after you. So, we need to look after them first. I would tell anyone to get involved in fundraising." Philomena Geoghegan, Newbridge Branch

We have over 60 teams of Fundraising Volunteers located all over the country, many through our Branch network. These teams plan and run a variety of fundraising events in their local communities including street collections, shopping centre table sales of gift items, raffle ticket sales, collection box distribution and collection, church gate collections, fun sponsored events and sports, table quizzes, golf classics, dinner dances and much, much more. We are always looking for new ideas.

• Experience of planning a project

• Opportunity to meet and exceed the goals you set yourself

• Be part of a dynamic organisation and meet new people

• Make a difference to an important charity

• Discover new talents you didn’t know you had
