Gifts in Wills

Gifts in Wills

What would you like to protect?

Caring for over 2,200 people and employing 2,000 staff, as a charity in the under-funded and under-resourced social care system is hugely challenging.  That’s likely never to change.

If you decide to leave a gift in your Will, you can help provide services that tackle the everyday challenges that learning disabled people and their families face. Whether the people we support are feeling socially isolated, need care to manage physical health conditions, or if our family carers need help and support.

Free Wills with Bequeathed

We have partnered with Bequeathed to offer you a free Will to protect yourself and your family.

Your online Will is free. You can choose whether to pay for legal advice provided over the telephone or by a local law firm. There is no obligation to include a gift in your Will to any of the charities Bequeathed promote and your online Will is free no matter what.

If you can leave a gift to Hft in your Will, we hope it gives you comfort to know that whatever the size of the gift that it will continue to change lives – for many years to come.
