Do you have free space within your home? Have you got a creative streak? Are you interested in seeing one of our adorable guide dog teddies? If you have answered yes to all three, then this could be the perfect role for you!
In this role, you will be part of a group of like-minded people helping to swoon people’s heart through displaying our adorable teddies and other materials to raise funds and awareness.

In this creative volunteer role, your support will include:
- Using your imagination to create creative displays of merchandise for events.
- Storing stock within your home and helping to dispatch the materials for events.
- Ordering more teddies, pens, badges, and other materials for local events to help capture the interest of the general public.
You’ll ideally have:
- Good organisation and planning skills.
- A creative touch for displaying merchandise.
- Space within your home to store merchandise.
What you’ll get
- The satisfaction in knowing you are supporting people with sight loss to live actively, independently, and well, through helping to raise funds for our services.
- An opportunity to share your skills in merchandising or develop new skills for future career development.
- To have fun interacting with others, including people within Guide Dogs and members of the public.
- A dedicated volunteer manager and fellow peers who will help support you throughout your role.
