There's no obligation to make a charitable gift in your will when taking part in Mind Free Wills Month or using our Free Will Offer, but a gift – however big or small – will help us make a difference to the lives of those of us living with a mental health problem. Just 5% of your estate would hugely help us to create a better future for mental health.
Mind and our network of independent local Minds are here to make sure everyone experiencing a mental health problem gets the support and respect they deserve.
We provide a national voice and local support for anybody experiencing a mental health problem.
By making a gift to Mind or your local Mind, you can help us make sure that in the future, no one has to face a mental health problem alone.
After taking care of loved ones, you may choose to include a gift in your will to a cause you care about - like Mind or your local Mind. There are three main types of gift that you can include in your will. These are:
A cash gift, known as a pecuniary gift is a fixed sum of money, for example £5000. These gifts are paid out of your estate first, and then what is left is divided up as per your instructions in you will.
This type of gift is a share of your estate, for example 5%. Many people divide their estate into 100 equal units, and after giving to family and loved ones, they gift a number of units to Mind.
A specific gift is a nominated object, for example artwork, a collection of records, or an antique. If you want to keep a particular item in your family, then this could be a good way to pass the item on.
