A local solicitors practice, Hall Reynolds LLP is coming together with 200 charities this September to shine a spotlight on gifts in Wills.
Throughout Remember A Charity Week (5-11 September 2023), Hall Reynolds LLP, which is based in Bidford-upon-Avon, will be working to raise awareness of the option of giving to charity from your Will, after taking care of family and friends.
Gifts in Wills have become increasingly prevalent as people consider their impact on the world and look for meaningful ways to give back to the good causes they care about.
In the UK, one in four professionally written Wills now include a charitable donation, raising £3.85 billion for good causes annually.
Katy Taylor, Partner at Hall Reynolds LLP says:
“We are delighted to be part of this year’s Remember A Charity Week. We know that charitable causes are so important for many of our clients and that writing a gift into their Will can be such a rewarding way to give back. During the week, we’ll be sharing information about remembering a charity in your Will and encouraging people get in touch with their questions.
“Often, people think that a charitable legacy has to be large or that they can only choose a well-known charity, but the reality is that you can give any amount to any organisation. And what’s so important is that you can fit those gifts around your wishes for family and friends. These donations can have a huge impact on charitable causes. What a wonderful way to be remembered!”
Katy Taylor – Partner at Hall Reynolds LLPLucinda Frostick, Director of Remember A Charity – a consortium of 200 UK charities – adds:
“Legacy giving can be transformational for UK charities and, following the pandemic and in the current challenging economic climate, this income stream has been all the more critical. Engagement and support from across the Will-writing community is crucial to helping grow legacy giving. These donations may not arrive for some years yet, but they will fund vital services and charities’ core costs for generations to follow.”
During Remember A Charity Week, campaign supporters and charities will be working together to encourage people across the country to consider how they might change the world for future generations by leaving a gift in their Will.
Hall Reynolds LLP has many years of experience in dealing with all aspects of private client work including: Will Writing, Estate Planning, Obtaining Grants of Probate and Administering Estates.
Leaving a Will simplifies matters for those you care about. It can save them money and ensures that the money you leave behind benefits those that you have chosen. Losing someone, whether it is a friend or a relative, is always difficult. Making a Will can ease the difficulty at least in dealing with practical things.
