Leave a legacy
Gifts in wills are vital to enable Age UK Wiltshire to continue helping older people in the local community.
We want to be there to ensure that people who are lonely, isolated, confused, or concerned in any way always have us to turn to.
Since 1949 Age UK Wiltshire has been committed to being there for older people who need support. If you decide to leave a gift in your will to AgeUK Wiltshire, your support will help us make life better where we can for older people in Wiltshire and Swindon.
Every gift left in a will to Age UK Wiltshire is vital to us. We appreciate any gift you may choose to leave us after taking care of your family and friends. Whatever the value of your gift it will go a long way to making sure we are always there to help someone who needs us.
How to leave a gift in your will
Having a will and keeping it up-to-date helps ensure that your wishes can be respected and your property and assets benefit people and causes you really care about. We would always recommend that you speak to a qualified professional such as a solicitor, when making or amending your will.
Your solicitor will be able to advise you on the required wording to carry out your wishes. If you wish to leave a gift to Age UK Wiltshire in your will, all you need is our charity details below:

If you already have a will
If you already have a will and you want to include a gift to Age UK Wiltshire in it, there may not be need to rewrite it. You can ask a qualified professional such as a solicitor to add an amendment (called a codicil). As a general rule, if the change you wish to make is quite small or simple, you can use a codicil, and if the change is more significant or complex you should make a new will.
What kind of gift can I leave to Age UK Wiltshire?
You can leave a specific sum of money or an item such as jewellery or a piece of art. Or you can leave a share in, or all of, what's left of the value of your estate after family and friends have been taken care of. The advantage of leaving a share (also known as residuary gift) is that it remains the same over time, and you won't need to change your will to keep up with inflation.
