Leave a gift in your Will

Your ending could be a child's new beginning - just like Sharena

Sharena's mum sadly died when she was just four years old, but thanks to a gift left in a Will, Sharena's family got the support they needed from a Home-Start volunteer who Sharena and her brother called 'Auntie Paula'.

Writing or updating a Will allows you to take care of your loved ones in the event of your death. It’s a gift made in a lifetime to all the people and causes you care about.

By including the causes that matter to you, you can leave a lasting impact on the world. With a Will, you have the power to decide exactly how your estate is distributed, including giving the irreplaceable gift of childhood.

When you include Home-Start UK, you can be confident that your gift will make a difference.
