Make a Will and remember Community Housing Aid
Leaving a gift to Community Housing Aid is a unique way to mark your life and demonstrate your commitment to ending homelessness
Community Housing Aid has been helping to reduce homelessness since 1980 and our community based projects and services like Nightstop continue to provide young people in housing crisis with a safe and secure place to sleep for the night.
Legacy gifts will enable Community Housing Aid to continue to give hundreds of homeless people the help and support they so urgently need.
Of course, leaving a legacy gift is not a decision that can be made lightly and without due consideration but if you do choose to leave a gift to Community Housing Aid in your Will, not only will you be helping to fund vital services, you will also be supporting our vision to help prevent homelessness.
Why make a Will?
Whether or not you choose to leave a gift to Community Housing Aid, it is important to make a Will to ensure your wishes are honoured. If you die without making a legal Will, the courts decide what happens to your estate.
Having a Will also makes life easier for those left behind and will help avoid misunderstandings. If you have children you can safeguard their future by providing for them financially and, where necessary, you can appoint a legal guardian.
What’s more, with professional help, you might be able to minimise the amount of inheritance tax payable on your estate while also helping charities like Community Housing Aid to ensure our vital work can continue in the future.
Community Housing Aid advises anyone who wants to make, or amend, a Will to see a solicitor.
Have you already left a gift to Community Housing Aid in your Will?
If you have already included a donation to Community Housing Aid in your Will, thank you for your gift. Your donation will help to ensure we can continue making a difference to the lives of vulnerable homeless people.
If you haven’t already informed us of your gift, it would be greatly appreciated if you could complete the simple PLEDGE FORM to let us know about your donation. Although we won’t know when we will receive this gift (and we hope it won’t be for a long time!), knowing that our supporters are continuing to help us in this special way will enable us to plan for the future with greater confidence. It will also mean that we can say a further thank you for your wonderful support and provide any additional information or assistance you may require.
