"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow"
Albert Einstein
Legacies (gifts left in a will) are vital to the future of Beacon Centre – over half of our voluntary income is from legacies alone.
Making a will guarantees your money and property will go where you want it to go, otherwise the Government will decide what happens. You can also reduce the amount of Inheritance Tax paid to the Inland Revenue, as all gifts to a charity, like Beacon Centre, are tax free.
We recommend anyone making a will that they seek legal advice. A solicitor will guide you through the steps you need to take to make a will and advise on the different types of gift you can make.
We rely on the kindness of people who remember us in their will. This year, people like you helped Anne-Marie to ride a bike on her own for the first time, you helped Frank leave his house each week to meet his friends for a cup of tea and a chat, and you helped William receive the care and support he needs every day.
Making a gift to us in your will is easy and can make a big difference for people like Anne-Marie, Frank and William. Make your last gift really count.
Live for today but be our hope for tomorrow.
