Legacies & Gifts
Home-Start wants to see a society in which every parent has the support they need to give their children the best possible start in life.
A gift for generations
If you share our belief that children deserve the best start in life please consider remembering Home-Start in your will.
Naturally, when you write your will, you will want to take care of your loved ones first. But if your estate has extra funds, you may wish to consider including a gift to Home-Start. It’s a wonderfully thoughtful way to continue your support for us, and help communities to continue to help themselves too.
Leaving a percentage of your estate to Home-Start means you may not have to update your will in the future if your circumstances change, and is an inflation-proof way of giving.
Contact Sue Thorn, or 0116 258 7921, for further advice.
Please let us know if you have remembered Home-Start in your will, as this helps us plan for the future. Home-Start UK recommends that you seek appropriate professional advice when writing or updating your will, ideally from a solicitor.
Gifts in memory of others
A donation to Home-Start when someone else dies is a lasting tribute. It gives your friends and family the opportunity to help other people who need our support.
Home-Start UK has teamed up with a website called MuchLoved which allows relatives and friends of loved ones who have passed away to create a lasting tribute to them. You can create your own web page and personalise it: this allows your friends and relatives to leave messages of remembrance for your relative or friend. There is no charge for this service, and visitors to the page are given the opportunity to leave a donation to Home-Start via your web page.

Help vulnerable children become happy children
If you would prefer to donate to a local Home-Start please contact them using our Find Us service. They will be able to tell you the best way to give directly to them.
Why do local Home-Start’s need separate donations?
