Remember a Charity Week 2025

Published : 03/09/25 | Categories: Funding | Information & support |

We’re joining charities and legal professionals across the UK to champion gifts in Wills this Remember A Charity Week. 

This September, we are proud to be joining forces with hundreds of charities, professional advisers, and partners across the UK to celebrate Remember A Charity Week.

CHARITY CHAMPIONS

As a Charity Champion, throughout the week we will be shining a light on the incredible difference made by gifts left to charity in Wills, and inviting more people to consider passing on something wonderful to the causes close to their heart, alongside taking care of loved ones.

Offering generous tax incentives, this form of charitable giving is on the rise, and provides essential funding for vital services across the country – both now and for future generations. In fact, around £3 in every £10 donated to charity comes through gifts in Wills. Within the current economic climate, these donations make a huge difference and really have become crucial for thousands of charities and community organisations. In fact, some of the nation’s most loved charities simply wouldn’t exist without such gifts.

THE ‘WILLANTHROPY’ MOVEMENT

Thanks to the generous acts of everyday people, the UK ‘Willanthropy’ movement continues to grow – with more than 100 people a day across the UK now writing a gift to charity in their Will. By working together with Remember A Charity, WCVA hopes to inspire even more people to consider what they wish to be remembered for.

REMEMBER A CHARITY WEEK

Remember A Charity Week (8-14 September 2025) is an annual celebration of the power and impact of legacy giving. Throughout the week, partners, solicitors, Will-writers, charities and others will be championing the legacy message, encouraging people across the country to help build a brighter future by leaving a gift in their Will.
