A Gift In Your Will: Investing In The Future
Leaving a Legacy
At Citizens Advice Hart, we believe that a gift in your will is not just a donation—it’s an investment in the future of your community. As demand for our advisory services continues to rise, your support will help ensure that we remain available for your family, friends, and future generations to come.
The Importance of Having a Will
Every adult, regardless of age, income, or wealth, should have a will in place. A will is the only way to ensure that your wishes are honored after you pass away. Without one, your loved ones may encounter significant legal and administrative hurdles during an already challenging time. There is information about writing a will on the Citizens Advice website. If you already have a will, updating it to include a gift to Citizens Advice Hart is a straightforward process.
Your Support Makes a Difference
As an independent charity, Citizens Advice Hart relies heavily on the generosity of the public—people like you. Gifts left to us in wills, commonly known as legacies, do not need to be substantial; even a small percentage of your estate can have a profound impact.
Life is unpredictable, and none of us can foresee the challenges our loved ones may face in the future—be it financial difficulties, relationship breakdowns, ill health, disabilities, employment disputes, or experiences of discrimination. By leaving a gift in your will to Citizens Advice Hart, you can help ensure that no one faces these challenges alone.
How Your Gift Can Be Used
Your gift can support Citizens Advice Hart in various meaningful ways, and you have the option to specify how you would like it to be used. You might choose to:
- Contribute to national Citizens Advice, which supports our entire service across England and Wales.
- Allocate your gift to a specific area of work, such as enhancing our telephone advice service, supporting our financial capability initiatives, or tackling discrimination.
- Designate your support to a specific local Citizens Advice or community.
No matter how you choose to direct your gift, you can be confident that it will create a significant, positive impact on people’s lives and contribute to building healthier communities and a fairer society.
