Leaving a Gift in Memory
Celebrate a life by changing another
Making a donation in memory of someone special is a meaningful way to celebrate their life while helping Service Dogs UK continue transforming the lives of Veterans living with PTSD. Whether you choose to make a personal donation, ask family and friends to give in lieu of flowers, or organise a collection at a funeral/celebration of life, every gift helps us train and support life-changing assistance dogs for those who have served our country.
Funeral and Memorial Donations
Many families choose to request donations to Service Dogs UK instead of flowers at a funeral or celebration of life. These thoughtful gifts provide a lasting tribute while helping Veterans regain confidence, independence and hope through the support of a specially trained assistance dog.
If you are arranging a funeral or memorial service, your funeral director can usually collect donations on your behalf, or family and friends can donate directly to Service Dogs UK via Just Giving, Paypal, BACS or Cheque.
Suggested wording for funeral notices
