How leaving a gift in your Will works
1. Take care of yourself and your priorities first (this could be family, friends, pets and things that matter most to you)
Most people choose to look after loved ones before considering a charitable gift. Once you have done this, you may decide to leave a gift to support a cause that matters to you.
2. Include Shropshire Mental Health Support in your Will
You can choose to leave:
- A share of your estate (a residuary gift)
- A fixed sum of money (a pecuniary gift)
- A specific item of value
A solicitor or Will-writing professional can help you decide which option is right for you.
3. Your legacy helps future generations
Your gift will help us continue providing mental health support across Shropshire, ensuring that people facing challenges can access help, hope and understanding when they need it.
