Remember a Charity
We have joined forces with over 140 other charities in the biggest combined
effort of its kind in the UK
to promote to the general public the need to remember a charity in their wills.
The campaign represents large and small charitable organisations from all
sectors. The fact that so many
charities are pooling their resources and working together is a measure of how
vital legacies are to the future
of good causes in this country.
At present 67% of
the UK population supports charities, but only 4.3% include a charity in their
will.
