Leave us a Gift in your Will during Remember a Charity Week from 8th to 14th September

Each year the campaigning organisation Remember a Charity run a national event called, not surprisingly, Remember a Charity Week, and this year it runs from the 8^th to 14^th September. This campaign highlights how you can leave a Gift in your Will to charity, and the growing importance of this fundraising stream in helping all charities, big or small, to achieve long term financial stability.

As a member of Remember a Charity we’re embracing the opportunity to focus on this topic, and to ask ‘Will you Remember the Gatehouse in your Will?’

There are three good reasons why more and more people are choosing to leave a Gift to charity in their Will:

• Unlike normal donations there will be no impact on your current finances, which can be particularly important at times when paying your bills is a priority and there is little spare cash to give to charities.
• You can choose as big or as small a sum as you like, either as a lump sum or as a percentage of the value of your estate.
• It is a very simple process, especially if you are adding a Gift to a Will that you already have in place.

All of this and much more is explained on our Gifts in Wills page, which can help you to navigate easily around all aspects of this topic.

This year there is also an opportunity to register your will free of charge with the National Will Register between 8^th September and 3^rd October, and save £30 on the normal cost. Simply enter the code RACWeek2025 when registering on the National Will Register website. It only takes a few seconds and provides the following benefits:

• Peace of mind: if the will is lost, misplaced or forgotten over the passage of time, it can be found instantly.
• Cost-free advantage: save money while adding an essential layer of security to your estate plans.
• Secure and confidential: Information stored is purely locational, ensuring both protection and privacy.

If you would like to support the Gatehouse please consider leaving us a Gift in your Will, and you can help us even more by passing on this message to friends, family and colleagues on social media or using our downloadable campaign poster.
