We’re joining charities and legal professionals across the UK to champion gifts in Wills this Remember A Charity Week.
This September, we’re proud to be joining forces with hundreds of voluntary organisations, professional advisers, and partners across the UK to celebrate Remember A Charity Week.
CHARITY CHAMPIONS
As a Charity Champion, we will be raising awareness of the option of giving to charity from your Will, 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. These donations make a huge difference, and some of the UK’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 around 100 people a day across the UK now choosing to leave a gift to charity in their Will. By working together with Remember A Charity, we hope to inspire even more people to consider what they wish to be remembered for.
REMEMBER A CHARITY WEEK
Remember A Charity Week (9-15 September 2024) 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.
