Leaving a legacy – planting a tree, knowing others will enjoy its shade
When it comes to your Will, it’s only right that your family and friends come first, but that doesn’t mean you can’t also leave a gift to a cause close to your heart.
Gifts in Wills help fund more than a third of our services – we simply couldn’t do what we do without the generosity of your donations and legacies. A gift in your will can make a vital difference to someone living with back pain in the future.
BackCare is a national charity working hard to assist everyone with back pain, to provide support, to undertake research, to produce information resources and to campaign for better back health. That’s why we are asking for your help.
Leaving a gift in your Will to BackCare is a relatively simple act that can make a big difference. Generous gifts from legacies have really helped BackCare continue to help people in pain.
Writing or changing your will is something that people often put off. A recent report commissioned by Remember a Charity revealed that 29 per cent of people with a Will admitted it is out of date and intend to change it. And with the amount left in Wills now averaging £160,000, up to £1.1 trillion could fail to reach the intended recipients.
Everyone should have an up-to-date Will. It’s your chance to make sure you look after everything you care about, please consider leaving a gift to BackCare, so that we can carry on helping people affected by back pain.
