The gift of a lifetime

The decision to leave a gift in your Will to Guide Dogs can make a profound difference to a person living with different levels of vision or a child with autism, and their family.

You may never meet the person whose life your kindness changes, but they will never forget you.

Your gift helps us provide a range of specialist services to enable independence, participation, inclusion and wellbeing. Breeding and training exceptional Guide Dogs and Autism Assistance Dogs is a significant part of this activity.

Gifts in Wills also help us provide ongoing mobility training to ensure that people with low vision or blindness can learn skills to achieve their goals, lead independent lives, and participate in their community.

All gifts are greatly valued and significantly help in our future planning.

Kate's story

Gifts in Wills are invaluable both for us and the support services we provide for people in our community living with different vision levels.

Dedicated volunteer and Honorary Life Member, Kate, has made the generous decision to leave a gift to Guide Dogs in her Will. Read why she has chosen this powerful way to make a difference.

“As a long-time volunteer with Guide Dogs, I have had the privilege of witnessing the incredible skills, care and dedication that goes into transforming a lovable Labrador into a highly skilled Guide Dog or Autism Assistance Dog.

I’ve also been lucky enough to meet some of the clients who have been matched with a Guide Dog, and see firsthand the remarkable difference these dogs have made to their lives, providing improved mobility, confidence and independence.

My Will gives me peace of mind, knowing that my wishes will be respected. My family understands how much it means to me, and they recognise that I’m doing something special by making a gift to Guide Dogs.

By leaving a gift in my Will, I feel a genuine comfort knowing that I am assisting Guide Dogs to continue their life-changing work well into the future.”
