It’s that time of year again, as soon as Christmas is over and the New Year has begun, we start to look at making New Year’s resolutions. Here’s why your resolution for 2022 should be to Make a Will…

It might not help you to lose weight, or conquer the half marathon you’ve been talking about for years, but writing a Will is a good way to provide for the future of the loved ones that you have spent time with at Christmas, and support Derian House.

 

Did you know? Gifts in Wills fund the care of 1 in 5 of our children and young people.

 

Make A Will Month is an opportunity for us to promote our partnerships with Will writing services as well as starting a conversation with our supporters about the impact of leaving a gift in their Will to Derian House.

 

Many people consider talking about Wills to be a sad topic as they associate it with dying, but actually writing a Will is encouraged when any important life event occurs for example getting married, buying a house or having a new baby.

 

Writing a Will should be viewed as an uplifting experience as you are planning for the future, taking care of your loved ones and it’s a wonderful way to support a charity too, leaving behind a legacy.

 

When we consider our donor journey, a supporter might first become involved with Derian House doing a sponsored run or challenge event, but then go on to donate regularly. By promoting gifts in Wills we hope that when the time is right for them to remember a charity in their Will we will be at the forefront of their mind.

 

If you have any questions about how to get started with writing your Will or you want to know more about leaving a gift in your Will to Derian House, please email gillian.rabbett@derianhouse.co.uk
