Guide Dogs For the Blind Association

Guide Dogs have launched a new phone line for people with sight loss and their families, to help support them during the coronavirus outbreak.  We would really appreciate it if you could share this service update with the people with sight loss you work with.  To make it as easy as possible, we have enclosed some wording below for you to use, thank you.

 

New phone line launched to support you during the coronavirus outbreak.

 

Guide Dogs are providing answers and information for people with sight loss and their families during the coronavirus outbreak. They can help you identify ways to continue living actively, independently and well, refer you to their other services or help you access services by other providers. Please call 0800 781 1444 between 9am-5pm Monday to Friday.

 

Guide Dogs has changed the way it provides services in response to social distancing, with every channel being used flexibly to give you choice and access to expertise and advice promptly.  For example, Guide Dogs staff can now arrange to contact you regularly by phone to provide individual support through the social isolation period.  To access this and other services available, please call 0800 781 1444  between 9am-5pm Monday to Friday or visit https://www.guidedogs.org.uk/covid19 to find out more.
