Leave a gift in your Will

  3. Leave a gift in your Will

Gifts left in Wills make a huge difference to our work and are vital to helping us respond to increased need across England and Wales. With a gift in your Will to the SVP, you can help us support people facing poverty and disadvantage long into the future. Leave your legacy of care and compassion. 

Rex’s story

Rex was a beloved SVP member who always had the needs of others in mind. He wanted to leave a legacy of compassion behind for people who needed it most. His gift in Will to the SVP has helped us support vulnerable families with emergency food parcels and befriend people who are feeling more isolated than ever during the Covid-19 crisis. Through his gift in Will, Rex’s legacy will live on.


Will you help people in need?

A gift in Will to the SVP will give hope to people affected by loneliness, poverty and hardship far into the future. Each gift, whether large or small, will make a real difference to the lives of vulnerable and isolated people at a time they need it most. A gift in Will ensures you can continue to support the causes and values you treasure most. 


Making a gift in your Will is simple

Making a gift in your Will may seem like a difficult decision and we strongly suggest you seek legal advice regarding Will writing. Although we do not give legal advice, we are happy to provide any information needed to make the process easier. 

In partnership with Your Catholic Legacy (YCL), we provide a free Will-writing service exclusively for SVP staff and members. Through this service the full cost of your Will is covered by the SVP. You can either request a simple single or mirror Will created by a qualified local solicitor in your local area. There is no obligation to leave a legacy to any charity, however this is a great opportunity to benefit the future work of the SVP. 

Due to high response we accept applications on a first come, first served basis. The deadline for applications is 31st March 2021, or until the funds available are exhausted.

To take advantage of this offer fill in a registration form by clicking the button below.

Your Gift could help people like Sara  

The SVP has supported vulnerable people like Sara and their families with emergency food parcels and other essential supplies through our ‘Knock and Drop’ service.

"What you are doing is great. I have possibly lost my job and my partner has been furloughed due to the pandemic. A gesture like this means so much to families like ours."
