Why leave a gift in your Will? 

Leaving a lasting gift to Aspens in your Will could transform the lives of people we support and ensure that Aspens' work continues for future generations. Every gift, no matter what size, is welcome and will help to improve the lives of people on the autism spectrum and with learning disabilities for years to come, helping us achieve our vision for an inclusive society where every individual on the autism spectrum and with learning disabilities can thrive as part of their local community. 

A gift in your Will costs nothing today but creates a powerful, lasting impact.

What legacy gifts have helped us to do

Thanks to the kindness of those who left a gift in their will, we've been able to:

• Provide lifelong support to individuals and families, empowering them to live as independently as possible and navigate everyday life with confidence and dignity.
• Create safe, supported housing where people can live independently while still having access to the care they need. 
• Run sessions for young people and adults that build skills, confidence and connection.
• Offer personalised care and advocacy, making sure every person is heard, respected and empowered to make their own choices.
• Support families and carers, offering respite, advice and a compassionate community of understanding. 
• Raise awareness and challenge stigma, helping society become more inclusive and understanding of autistic people and those with learning disabilities. 

How to leave your legacy

Including Aspens in your Will is easy. Here’s how:

Speak to your solicitor or Will writer. Ask them to include this suggested wording:
