The Printing Charity - Legacy
Why Are Gifts So Important To Charities?
It's a common myth that only the wealthy and those with celebrity-status leave money to charity when they die. This really could not be any further from the truth. The reality is that without the gifts left in wills by people like you, many of the charities we know and support today wouldn't even exist. Legacies are the foundation for many of the charities in the UK and are vital in making sure that all the good work they do can continue.
Thankfully 74% of the UK population support charities and when asked, 35% of people say they'd happily leave a gift in their will once family and friends had been provided for. The problem is only 7% actually do.
That's why, if we all leave some money in our wills for charity as well as our family, we can make a huge difference. In fact, if we can raise this figure to just 11% we would create an additional £1 billion for charities in the UK every year, which would ensure that their work lives on.
So, you don't have to be wealthy and have celebrity-status to make a contribution that can make a difference. We can all do something amazing for the world just by leaving a gift in our wills to charity. A lasting legacy, a life-saving gift - please remember The Printing Charity in your Will. It’s your Charity – leave a legacy and make a difference!
