Support us
Every donation and every volunteer makes a real difference to the people we support. Your kindness helps us continue our work, reach more veterans and their families, and create lasting positive change within our community. With your support, we can continue making an impact where it’s needed most.
Help rebuild a life
For many of the veterans we support, life has become small, overwhelming, and often isolating. Simple things like leaving the house, seeing friends, and sleeping through the night, can feel impossible. But with the right support, things can change.
An assistance dog is more than a companion. They are a constant presence, a source of safety, and a reason to step back into the world.
With your support, that change becomes possible.
“Sometimes the smallest act of support can give someone the strength to start living again.”
Making a donation
A donation, whether one-off or monthly, helps us train assistance dogs, deliver our programmes, and provide long-term support to veterans and their families.
Regular giving is especially powerful, helping us plan ahead and support more veterans each year.
Fundraise for us
Take on a challenge, host an event, or create your own fundraiser.
Whether you’re a runner, a swimmer, enjoy getting out in the saddle, jumping out of planes, or trekking up mountains, there is a challenge event for you.
Or perhaps you’re a baker, a maker, or (something that rhymes!), get in touch to tell us how you’d like to fundraise and we can support your brilliant ideas.
How ever you choose to fundraise for Veterans With Dogs, you’re supporting veterans to improve their mental health through the power of the canine bond.
Volunteer
Our volunteers are at the heart of what we do.
From puppy socialisers to event support, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
Philanthropy
We are a small but ambitious charity, where philanthropic giving has the power to be truly transformational.
At Veterans With Dogs, we will work closely with you to ensure your support is meaningful, rewarding, and aligned with your philanthropic interests. We offer a highly personalised approach to giving, with regular updates demonstrating the difference your support is making, and opportunities to meet our staff and leadership teams.
Why your support matters
Every gift enables us to support more veterans living with complex mental health challenges, providing life-changing assistance dogs, expert training, and ongoing care. Your support allows us to grow sustainably, invest in quality, and reach those who need us most.
Ways to make a philanthropic gift
There are many ways you can make a philanthropic gift, and we’d be delighted to discuss the options with you:
- A multi-year gift is one of the most effective ways to support our work. It provides reliable funding, strengthens our planning, and ensures that you can watch your generosity have real impact.
- A single donation can help us be agile and adapt to changing needs.
- Use of giving vehicles such as Donor Advised Funds (DAF) can be tax and resource efficient
- For donations that qualify, using Gift Air will maximise the impact of your support
- Leaving a gift in your Will is a powerful way to help support veterans who need us in the future.
Whether you already have a clear vision for your giving, or are just beginning to explore your philanthropy, we would be delighted to start a conversation.
Get in touch with our Chair of Trustees, Sally Williams, to discuss philanthropic giving. Together, we can give veterans the support, independence, and hope they deserve.
Leave a lasting legacy
By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help future generations of veterans access life-changing support.
It’s a powerful way to make a difference beyond your lifetime.
