Deciding how our wealth and possessions are to be distributed after we die is one of the most important decisions that we will make during our lifetimes.

Including a gift in your Will to Save the Children is such an easy yet powerful thing to do. We recommend that you speak with your solicitor, legal advisor or trust company when you make or update your Will. You can explain your wishes about including a gift in your Will to them and they can make sure that your Will accurately reflects your wishes.

Asking your solicitor to include a few short words in your Will can make a world of difference to the lives of children and won't cost as much as you might think.

You can find the wording that we suggest you use to include a gift in your Will here. Or you can download a copy of our Gifts in Wills booklet.
