This week is Remember A Charity Week, which runs from 9 to 15 September.
Remember A Charity Week provides an opportunity for everyone to take a moment to consider leaving a gift to charity in their Will and raise awareness of how important gifts in Wills are.
Including a gift to charity in your Will is a great thing, and Remember A Charity is encouraging everyone to consider leaving a gift to charity alongside family and friends.
They have lots of helpful information on their website.
Currently, around 6% of people leave a gift to charity in their Will, but if this increased to 10%, it could help raise another £1 billion for charities and good causes, helping them continue their vital work.
At Action for ME, we are incredibly grateful to all our generous supporters, including those who have left gifts for our charity in their Will.
Last year, £1 in every £6 we received came from a gift in a Will which enables us to improve the lives of people affected by ME.
The next time you make or update your Will, please consider the difference you can make by remembering Action for ME.
