Gifts in your Will allow your values to live on. By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help ensure that the most vulnerable people living in the UK will have support in years to come.
A gift of even a small fraction of what you leave behind will change our future, whilst ensuring everything else goes to those closest to you. Supporters like you transform the work we can do for generations to come. Thank you.
Why leave a Will?
Leaving a Will can make a difficult time much easier for your loved ones. Without a Will, finalising the affairs of someone who has died is much more complicated, with delays and added legal costs.
In addition, if 10% or more of your estate is left to charity, your Inheritance Tax rate may be reduced.
By leaving a Will you can ensure your wishes are followed and your loved ones are protected from added distress. It also enables you to leave a gift to other causes that matter to you.
The Value of leaving a gift in your Will
Guideposts wouldn’t be able to plan for the future, establish and run much-valued services in our local communities, or survive during challenging times, without our supporters’ continued generosity. We have been supporting people in the community for 50 years, and we intend to continue well into the future.
Almost a third of all our work, most specifically for people with dementia and for carers, is funded by the legacy gifts left to us by supporters who have chosen to leave a gift to us in their will.
After taking care of your loved ones, your gift to Guideposts Trust will make a lasting difference, providing vulnerable, disadvantaged, or isolated people with advice, opportunities and skills to live well in their community in the years ahead.
