Caring matters...

Support our work

Help us to help Dalmatians in need.

British Dalmatian Welfare is a registered charity entirely funded by the generous gifts of Dalmatian loving individuals. We do not have an office or any employed staff, all the officers and team of assessors are volunteers where their time is donated freely. The coordination of the whole charity is done from our own homes.

We incur many costs for the running of our charity,  the common ones are vets’ bills, kennelling costs, and the telephone. Although we have a policy of refraining from placing dogs into kennels, on occasion we have no choice (sometimes we are told to collect the Dalmatian immediately, and a suitable home may not be available within the few small hours we have) Some of the Dalmatians have ongoing medical issues – we meet these costs in order to secure the perfect home for that dog. British Dalmatian Welfare also contributes towards any costs for spaying/neutering to safeguard against future breeding. If a Dalmatian has been neglected in any way,  we incur the vets’ bills to rehabilitate the dog and prepare it for rehoming as a healthy and happy dog.

Sometimes we pay for retraining or behaviourists, whatever it takes to ensure that the Dalmatian is a happy and balanced dog who can settle into his/her new forever home with ease.

When Dalmatians are matched with new homes, sometimes they can be many counties away from each other and our volunteers tirelessly transport dogs across the country – giving their time freely and only being reimbursed for fuel costs.

British Dalmatian Welfare has never received any direct financial support from the government, we rely solely on our fundraising efforts, the fundraising efforts of the public and donations.

As an individual there are many ways you can give to help the Dalmatian.

Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will go towards helping needy Dalmatians. Every penny is spent solely on the Dalmatians, no wages or office costs are ever incurred. Every penny is ALWAYS greatly received.

Thank you for your support.

GIFT AID

Gift Aid helps us to make the very most of the donations we receive. For every £1 donated under the scheme, we can reclaim an extra 25p from the Inland Revenue – at no extra cost to the donor, but to the great benefit of the animals that rely on our life-saving work.

As a result of changes to the Gift Aid scheme in March 2000, charities can now reclaim the tax on any donations made after 6 April 2000. All you need to do is to complete a Gift Aid declaration, confirming you are a UK taxpayer and want the charity to reclaim the tax. You do not need to sign a new declaration for each donation – it remains effective until you cease to pay tax in the UK.

Please download our Gift Aid form and send it with your cheque or a note to tell us about your standing order to our Treasurer:

Mrs D Elliott, BDW Treasurer Wishford 39A Grange Road Egham Surrey TW20 9QP

Legacy

There are several ways you can leave a gift in your Will to the British Dalmatian Welfare:

Residuary

A residuary legacy is a gift of the residue of your estate, or a percentage of the residue (the amount left after your debts have been settled and any legacies you leave to other people have been paid). If you leave your whole estate as a gift, this is also known as a residuary legacy. The value of such a gift is least likely to be cut by inflation.

Pecunary

A gift of a specified sum of money, decided when the will or codicil is written, is called a pecuniary legacy.

Specific

f you make a gift of a particular item this is called a specific legacy. This includes stocks and shares, the proceeds of a life assurance policy, property, furniture, and jewellery.

If you wish to leave something to our charity in your Will and require further information, please contact the Welfare Rehoming telephone number leave a message and your contact details or write to us via the contact form and someone will get back to you.
