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.

The Big Give Christmas Challenge
The Big Give Christmas Challenge is the UK’s biggest match-funding campaign taking place for a week from 29 November – 6 December 2022 . During this week, the Big Give helps charities to raise money through the Christmas Challenge with a supported fundraising campaign. Last year, thanks to generous supporters like you, the campaign raised over £24 million for participating charities. This year we want to be one of them but we need your help! We are looking for ‘pledgers’ to be part of our Big Give Christmas Campaign. By pledging to donate a minimum of £100 this Christmas you could help double the donations our appeal receives.
