How you can help

Valgrays Border Collie & Animal Rescue is run by Val Phillips and a team of dog lovers who work exceptionally hard to rescue and rehome as many homeless dogs as possible.

As we are run by volunteers, we are completely reliant on the kind donations made to us throughout the year and do not receive any government funding. As a small charity, we do not have the size and scale of other better-known dog charities to run nationwide campaigns to raise funds, but are looking to raise awareness of our charity to increase the level of donations we receive.

You can help by either donating money direct to Valgrays, or by fund raising in any capacity you can think of (see below for ideas!). It is of course excellent if you do come up with ideas to fund raise; but (there is always a but isn’t there!) ideas are brilliant, but if you have one, how about making it a personal project to see the ‘idea’ through from thinking stage to producing the money?

Oh yes, that means actually doing the fund raising yourself or getting a group together to do it. Sadly existing volunteers are already up to their eyes in it .. so what do you say Valgray Owners (and supporters) are you up to the challenge?

What is Gift Aid?

Extra money for our small chairty (25p in every £1 you donate) – That means we can increase the provision of temporary shelter, veterinary treatment and finding permanent homes for all the animals who needs our help. Example – You can donate £20, we can claim (from HMRC) an extra £5, making your gift worth £25.

Who can Gift Aid?

Provided you are a UK Taxpayer (Note – that can include pensioners, or those who are not in work).
The tax you pay that year is at least equal to all your donations to any charity.

If you can Gift Aid – please contact our Treasurer, Matt Yule, who will send you a Gift Aid form to complete.

For alternative methods of payment to PayPal, please contact our Treasurer who can advise.

From all the Valgrays Team, a big ‘Thank You’ for all the continued support.

We greatly welcome donations of doggie items that we can sell through our table top stall. The rescue dogs in our care always need items like bedding (vet bed, etc), collars, leads, harnesses, head collars, etc, dog coats (for older rescues), treats, toys & unused veterinary medication too.
