Give

Gift in Will

After taking care of family and friends, some people choose to leave a gift in their Will to a cause they care about. A gift to Improving Lives Plymouth can help future generations access support, advice and opportunities to live well.

A gift in your Will is a donation that is left to a charity after you die. It can be a fixed amount, a specific item, or a share of what is left in your estate.

Why does it matter?

Legacy gifts can help us continue supporting people across Plymouth for years to come. They can provide long-term stability and help us respond to future needs in our community.

We understand that your loved ones come first. Any gift, large or small, can make a difference, but there is no obligation and no pressure.

How to start?

If you are thinking about leaving a gift in your Will, the best first step is to speak with a solicitor or professional Will writer. We do not provide legal advice, but we can explain how your gift could help and provide our charity details if needed.

If you would like a confidential conversation about leaving a gift in your Will, please get in touch with our team.
