Leaving a lasting legacy
Support us with a gift in your will
Helping those who need us, now and in the future
For over 40 years, our charity has been here to provide vital emotional and psychological support to people across our Island. We understand that when it comes to writing your Will, family and friends will always come first. If, after providing for them, you feel able to include a gift to us, it would mean so much.
Your legacy could help transform lives — making sure more people can access the support they need, and shaping a brighter future for those living with life-changing challenges.

How to leave a gift in your Will
Whether you’re planning to write your first Will or updating an existing one, leaving a gift to a charity is simple and straightforward. An up-to-date Will ensures your wishes for your family, and any causes close to your heart, are clearly understood when the time comes.
You can write a Will yourself, although we would always recommend using an advocate or solicitor to ensure your Will accurately reflects your wishes and is legally valid.
If you’d like to leave a gift to Isle Listen, our step-by-step guide can help you understand your options and make the process as easy as possible.

How do I go about writing a Will?
You can write a Will yourself, however, we would always recommend using an advocate or solicitor to ensure your Will accurately reflects your wishes and is legally valid. You can also download our step-by-step guide on writing a Will to help get you started.
Can I specify how you use my gift
Yes, you can. We are very happy to talk to you about the ways in which you can specifically help us, although most people leave us a gift without specific conditions to enable us to use that gift wherever it is most needed and will have the greatest impact.
Can I change my mind after I’ve made my Will?
Yes, you can. We understand that circumstances change, and you can usually do this with a codicil, however, it is important that you first speak to an advocate or solicitor about the changes to ensure that the changes are carried out accurately.
Do I need to tell you that I’m leaving you a gift?
No, you don’t have to tell us what you decide, and we respect your right to privacy. Of course, if you would like to tell us, that does give us the opportunity to give you heartfelt thanks and keep you informed about the vital emotional and mental health work we do with people living with life-changing conditions. It will also allow us to more effectively plan for our future sustainability.
Will my family disagree with my decision?
Looking after loved ones when you are gone is likely to be the most important thing to you, but your Will reflects what matters most to you. We respect that and won’t try to change it. We find that most families are proud of the gifts their loved ones leave to charity.
Aren’t I better helping you now rather than when I die?
It’s entirely up to you, whichever you prefer will still make a life-changing difference. Many of our supporters who leave us a gift in their Will also support us during their lifetime by undertaking fundraising activities or making a regular donation.
