Gift in Will

A gift in your will to Aspens

A gift in your will could transform the lives of people living with learning disabilities and autism.

We understand that providing for your family and friends is the most important thing to consider when writing a will. However, once they have been considered you may wish to leave a gift to support our work.

More than 700 people, both children and adults, across Kent, East and West Sussex and Bexley benefit from the services we provide. Services that include:

  • Residential care across 14 sites caring for 86 individuals;
  • Four outreach services, supporting 87 individuals;
  • Fifteen supported living schemes caring for 63 Individuals;
  • Resource & Activity services across 3 sites supporting 119 individuals;
  • Specialist services for 415 children across Sussex and Bexley.

Every gift will be used to enhance these services helping us to make a practical and lasting difference to the lives of the children and adults we support.

About leaving a gift in your will to Aspens

Leave a gift to Aspens in your will and help to improve the lives of people with disabilities, both now and in the future.

Providing for your family and friends is the most important thing to consider when writing a will. However, once they have been considered you may wish to leave a gift to support our work.

There are a number of ways you can remember Aspens in your will:

  • A residuary legacy or percentage of your estate is the most helpful gift. It is the remainder of your estate after gifts, taxes and expenses, and has the added benefit of keeping pace with inflation.
  • A gift of a fixed sum of money is referred to as a pecuniary legacy. This can be any size you wish.
  • You may choose to leave a particular named item known as a specific legacy, for example, a piece of jewellery.

You don’t have to be rich to leave a gift to us in your will. Every gift, no matter what size, is welcome and will help to make an amazing difference to the lives of people with learning disabilities for years to come.

You can take the first step by downloading the form to pledge a gift in your will to Aspens here:
