We’re all richer when charities thrive.

Has a charity helped you or someone you love? Chances are that at some point, a charity will touch your life – perhaps when you least expect it. Maybe by helping a friend or relative, or by supporting you directly.

Whether it’s mental health support, saving lives at sea or rescuing abandoned animals, charities play a fundamental role in driving positive, lasting change.

Charities are there for all of us when we need it most. So how can we ensure they can continue supporting future generations?

Some people take it for granted that charities can only do their amazing work because of generous support from the public.

For example, did you know that all hospices are charities? They receive little state funding, despite the fact there’s a growing need for their dedicated care.

One of the most profound ways you can support charities long into the future is to leave them gift in your Will. Simply put, charities rely on gifts in Wills to continue their work.

If a charity has touched your life, or someone you care about, then please consider saying thank you by leaving them a gift in your Will.
