Leave a legacy and make a lasting impact to our dogs DONATE
Many people make provision for their favourite
charities in their will. Their generous legacies continue
to provide for causes close to their heart. Remembering
BTRF with a legacy enables us to continue rescuing and
re-homing Bedlington Terriers and their crosses.
Dogs like Tegan and Little Mo benefit from the kindness
of others; they can’t say ‘thank you’ so we say it on
their behalf.
You can find recommended wording on our website at
Leave a Legacy.
Thank you.

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING - GIFT AID

A quick reminder that your generous donations can go much further if
you tick the Gift Aid box when you give. We’ll get an extra whopping 25%
from the government and it doesn’t cost you a penny more. In fact, for
those who fill in personal Tax Returns, you can claim charitable donations
against your allowance.
