Remember Age UK Norfolk in your Will

Remember A Charity Week is an opportunity for everyone to take a moment to consider leaving a gift to charity in their Will, after looking after family and friends. This year's Remember A Charity Week runs from 9 to 15 September 2024. 

Remember a Charity Week encourages people to consider including a gift to charity in their wills. This special week, held annually, highlights the powerful impact of legacy donations on charities and the lives they support.

Why is important to make a will?

If you do not have a will in place when you die, you’re said to have died ‘intestate’ which means your estate is divided up according to the statutory rules of intestacy. This may not reflect your wishes about who benefits and how.

You can learn more about the importance of making a will on our website.

Why leave a gift to a charity in your will?
