Help create a better future for disabled people with a gift in your Will.
A legacy, or a gift in a Will, is a way for a person to make a lasting impression on a cause they care about even after their death.
Sarah Miller, CEO, explains: “Leaving a gift to Papworth Trust in your Will is a very impactful way of helping us to achieve our vision for a world where disabled people are seen for who they are.
“If, like me, you believe that disabled people should have the same opportunities and access in life as everyone else; to be able to make decisions about how and where they live, what they do and who they do it with, then you may like to consider leaving a gift to Papworth Trust in your Will.
“We live in uncertain economic times which has pushed many disabled people into crisis. As an organisation, our costs have dramatically increased recently which, coupled with workforce scarcity, makes life very challenging in our sector. However, despite this, we continue to deliver great services and improve the quality of our support to our customers, their families and carers. Thank you for thinking about how you too could make a difference.”
Gifts in Wills play a vital part in us continuing to make a difference to the lives of the disabled people we support, whether through Housing, Employment, Care or Day Opportunities.
For example, a recent legacy went towards our ‘Routeways to Work’ programme which supports disabled people aged 16+ who have learning disabilities and long-term health conditions. Modules, which provide valuable work experience at our Owl Bikes workshop, usually involve attending 2 sessions per week over a 9 month period. There is dedicated mentor support. One in four participants have got a job after the programme and the same number are now participating in regular volunteering.
It is really straightforward to leave a gift. You will need to give this information to the legal expert involved in writing your Will:
Charity name: Papworth Trust
Charity number: 211234
Charity address: Saxongate, Bradbury Place, Huntingdon PE29 3RR
We would love to hear from you if you’re thinking about leaving a gift in your Will.
