Your kindness can live on: leave a gift in your Will

This Remember A Charity Week (8–14 September), we’re proud to join charities across the UK in celebrating the incredible difference gifts in Wills can make.

At Family Fund, we know that families raising disabled or seriously ill children face extra costs and challenges every single day. Parents tell us that even ordinary family moments such as playing together, going on outings and supporting learning can feel harder to manage alongside these pressures.

That’s where we come in. With the help of your support, we can provide practical grants and opportunities that make life that bit easier and give children the chance to enjoy the everyday experiences they deserve.

Why leave a gift in your Will?

Leaving a legacy gift is a powerful way to make sure this support continues for years to come. It helps us plan ahead, reach more families and offer more than just grants. From new kitchen appliances that ease the pressure at home, to iPads that open up learning, to activities that give children fun and confidence – every gift helps create brighter futures.

And these gifts don’t have to be large. After taking care of your loved ones, even the smallest amount can have a lasting impact. If everyone who cared about our work left just a little something, together we could transform thousands more lives.

I can’t work due to caring for Nafisa, and with the cost-of-living crisis, costs are so much higher than before. I’m on my own with no wider family to help us. So Family Fund’s support allowed me to give something to my children, as their mother.
