The Ultimate Gift of Love

Remember all the dogs you’ve ever loved, by leaving a gift in your Will to Guide Dogs

-

Almost two million people in the UK are living with sight loss that has a significan­t impact on their daily lives. Of those, around 180,000 rarely leave their homes alone.

Guide Dogs provides support to help people with sight loss move around safely and confidentl­y, to get out of their homes and be able to live their lives the way they choose.

Guide Dogs is best known for achieving this through their worldfamou­s guide dogs, but their work now encompasse­s so much more.

In recent years they have extended other work to help people with sight loss tackle obstacles they face on a daily basis. By leaving a gift to Guide Dogs you can provide someone with this kind of support.

Guide dog owner Dave, who has had guide dogs for 40 years, said, “It has been my privilege to be partnered with the most outstandin­g, true and loyal guides one could ever hope for.

“I see neither light or dark, in essence, I am totally blind and therefore dependent on my guide dog as my principal means of mobility. Working together with my best friend, moving freely along the streets of London helps weave a rich and colourful blanket of trust that surrounds us and allows me to live the life I choose. Those magical feelings and being guided by my best friend is simply awesome. Thanks to the generosity of people like you, myself and thousands of other blind and partially sighted people can realise their true potential.”

By rememberin­g the dogs you’ve loved with a gift in your Will, your legacy, and theirs, will help to provide the guide dogs of the future. Request your free legacy booklet by calling Freephone 0800 694 0700 or visit GUIDEDOGS.ORG.UK MYWEEKLY.
