Connect with other people to form new friendships, enjoy activities, and share stories and experiences.

What are leisure and lifestyle services?

Everyone connects in different ways. One thing’s for sure, though: we can all enjoy the experience of meeting new people who have similar stories or experiences to our own.

Through finding and getting involved with different leisure and lifestyle activities in our communities, we can explore the world while discovering new information and ideas.

At Guide Dogs, we can support you to access social and lifestyle activities based on your interests, what you’re comfortable with, and where you live. We do that by:

  • Working with you to develop strategies so you can independently access activities in the community.
  • Identifying Assistive Technology to increase your independence in getting the most out of these activities.
  • Introducing you to Guide Dogs’ social and activity groups.
