If you are interested in making your charitable donations go further, why not think about leaving a gift in your will. It is one of the most effective ways to give to charity as the charity receives 100% of your donation, it could reduce your inheritance tax, and you pay nothing now. If this all sounds good to you then speak to the solicitor about this option during your appointment.
Your gift could allow us to offer vital wellbeing activities such as visiting local animal centres or peer support activities, such as a wellbeing walking group for people at risk of mental health crisis.
The appointment is for you to take care of your loved ones and is completely confidential. There is no obligation to leave a gift to charity in your will, but if you would like to consider doing this you can rest assured that your gift will help to fund vital work across our local communities.
