Thank you for your interest in Mind's Free Wills Month. All appointments across Nottinghamshire, Stockport, and Hull & East Yorkshire are now fully booked.
If you would still like to make or update a simple will - or simple joint wills with a partner, you are welcome to register for our ongoing Free Will offer using our online registration form. Once registered, we'll send you a pack in the post that contains a list of participating solicitors near you to choose from. Simply book your appointment directly with your chosen solicitor and they will work with you to prepare a will according to your wishes.
There is no obligation to make a charitable gift in your will when taking part in Mind’s 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.
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.
Mind's Free Wills Month March 2019 was brought to you by the following charities:
We provide advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. We campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding.

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.
