Remember a loved one this Christmas by dedicating a star in their memory in our Guiding Stars appeal.
We consider our life-changing guide dogs as guiding stars, providing freedom and independence to people with sight loss. This Christmas, in memory of a beloved friend, family member, or pet who may have been a guiding star in your life, we’d like to invite you to dedicate a star to them. These stars can be hung on our Guiding Stars Christmas trees at our regional centres across the UK or dedicated on our online dedication page.
We have been running our Guiding Stars campaign for 16 years and supporting us in memory of a loved one at Christmas has become an annual tradition for many people. When dedicating a star, many people kindly donate in memory, which could go towards training one of our guide dog puppies, like Ivy, who has the potential to change the life of someone with sight loss one day.
How to dedicate a star in memory this Christmas
You can dedicate a star in the following ways:
- Visit our online dedication page to post a photo and leave a dedication to your loved one, along with a much-appreciated donation to Guide Dogs. *Please note this page has a 500-word dedication limit, and you can find suggestions of what to write below.
- Call our friendly Supporter Experience team on freephone 0800 953 0113 to request a physical star on which to write your loved one's name. Then return it to us to hang on one of our regional Christmas trees, alongside a donation, if you'd like.
