This week is Remember a Charity Week
Posted Monday 13 September 2010
Imagine a world without your favourite charity… Gifts in wills are the cornerstone of many good causes. Without legacies, many charities would simply not survive.
Mind is taking part in Remember a Charity Week from 13 to 19 September 2010, to help raise awareness of the importance of legacy fundraising.
It’s a common myth that you have to be wealthy to help us by leaving a gift in your will: nothing could be further from the truth. After taking care of family and friends, you’ll be amazed at what one final gift, no matter how big or small, can do.
Of course we don’t expect you to write or update your will right now, we only ask that you don’t forget. So this week please keep it in your mind, discuss the subject with your loved ones and then maybe, when the time comes, you’ll consider including us in your will and help our work live on.
Find out how you can help the work live on via these pages of our website or at www.rememberacharity.org.uk.
