This September, Harold Stephens is proud to be joining forces with hundreds of charities, professional advisers, and partners across the UK to celebrate Remember A Charity Week.

As proud Campaign Supporters, throughout the week we will be raising awareness of the option of giving to charity from your Will, alongside taking care of loved ones.

Offering generous tax incentives, this form of charitable giving is on the rise, and provides essential funding for vital services across the country – both now and for future generations. In fact, around £3 in every £10 donated to charity comes through gifts in Wills[1]. Within the current economic climate, these donations make a huge difference and really have become crucial for thousands of charities and community organisations. In fact, some of the nation’s most loved charities simply wouldn’t exist without such gifts.

 James Kenward, Independent Financial Adviser at Harold Stephens says: “We’re delighted to be part of this year’s Remember A Charity Week. We know that leaving a gift in this way can not only be an important way of supporting good causes, but it’s such a rewarding way for our clients to give back. During the week, we’ll be sharing information about how ‘Willanthropy’ impacts local charities as well as highlighting the potential inheritance tax benefits of giving. If you would like to book an appointment to discuss updating your Will, or any estate planning needs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.”

 Thanks to the generous acts of everyday people, the UK ‘Willanthropy’ movement continues to grow - with around 100 people a day across the UK now choosing to leave a gift to charity in their Will. By working together with Remember A Charity, Harold Stephens hopes to inspire even more clients to consider what they wish to be remembered for.

 Remember A Charity Week (9-15 September 2024) is an annual celebration of the power and impact of legacy giving. Throughout the week, campaign partners, solicitors, Will-writers, charities and others will be championing the legacy message, encouraging people across the country to help build a brighter future by leaving a gift in their Will.
