Without the generosity of people like you, our work would simply not be possible.
There are many ways for you to get involved and support The Brigitte Trust, helping those living with a life-limiting illness. You can take part in an event, leave a gift in your Will, set up a regular donation or simply remember us when you next shop online.
Leave a gift in your Will
Remember The Brigitte Trust in your Will.
Leaving a gift in your Will to the Brigitte Trust is a lasting memorial and can provide us with much needed funds to continue helping others facing a life limiting illness.
There are several different ways to leave a gift in your Will. All are straightforward and easy to arrange when speaking with a solicitor. An initial discussion is often provided free of charge. The charges for the actual writing of the Will vary but your solicitor can give you an idea of these during your first meeting. Often only two meetings will be necessary.
For more information contact us or visit the Remember a Charity website https://www.rememberacharity.org.uk/. Download our Gift in a Will leaflet here.
