Why pledge a gift in your will

There are many reasons people pledge gifts to Together Dementia Support in their Will. It can be a dedication to someone they love who lived with dementia, or a commitment to ensuring services like our exist for future generations who will need it.

"We would love to leave a legacy to Together Dementia Support for the wonderful loving joy they bring to all their clients."

Why Carol and Donald chose to leave a gift in their Will

Charlie came to England from Jamaica in the late 50s, where he settled, married, and raised his three children. ​Unfortunately, in his late 70s, Charlied developed dementia. 

There were plenty of services from Together Dementia Support available to support both Charlie and his family. 

​We therefore would love to leave a legacy to this fantastic, professional team who offer dedication, sensitivity, and a wonderful loving joy to all their clients.

Benefits of gifting

There are sound financial reasons for leaving a gift to charity in your Will. Not only is a legacy entirely free of inheritance tax, but if you were to leave more than 10% of the value of your estate to charity, then the government will reduce what inheritance tax you do pay by 10%.

 

Your solicitor will be able to explain the benefits and how they will apply to your circumstances in full.

Benefits of Gifting
  • Why make a will?
    The only way to make sure that your wishes are carried out after your death is to make a will. It is a lot easier than you might think and while you will have to pay for professional advice, it is a small price for making sure your family and friends are taken care of and to leave a lasting legacy to your favourite charities.
  • Do I need a solicitor?
    When making or changing your will you should always seek professional advice from someone qualified such as a solicitor, accountant or bank manager. For free basic Wills, book an appointment with the TDS Legal Clinic
  • What if I already have a will?
    It is possible to change your will using a codicil, without having to re-write the entire document. Talk to a professional advisor about the best way to do this.
  • Why leave a gift to a charity?
    Charitable legacies are a vital source of income for charities, amounting to around £2 billion each year. By leaving a gift to charity in your will, after you have provided for friends and family, you are helping the work of that charity to live on.
  • Are there any tax benefits?
    A gift to charity is free of inheritance tax and there are additional benefits if your gift is worth more than 10% of the value of your estate. Ask your professional advisor to explain your tax situation to you.
  • Why choose Together Dementia Support?
    At Together Dementia Support we make every penny count. So a gift in your will, big or small, will have a huge impact on the people we care for. Nearly 5,000 people in the Manchester area alone live with dementia. At the moment, we are able to support less than 6% of them. We are the only specialised provider of ongoing, regular, group-based support in Manchester. That means 95% of people living with dementia are doing so without vital post-diagnosis support. Your donation will change lives, and enable more people to live better together with dementia.
