Wills Month - Leave a Legacy

Free Wills Month - October

Have you thought about leaving a gift in your Will to Age UK Bournemouth Poole & East Dorset? October is the perfect time to do this as it’s free will month

Age UK Bournemouth, Poole & East Dorset is a local independent charity who are committed to being there for local older people who need us. If you decide to leave us a gift in your will, you will be supporting us to make life better for older people living in the local area. Every gift is vital to Age UK, Bournemouth, Poole & East Dorset, it will enable you to leave something special to the many older people in our area that have no one to turn to when times get tough. You can help tackle loneliness and provide comfort and support, for many thousands of older people.

Many solicitors throughout the country are taking part in providing a simple will writing or updating service for free this month (if you are wanting a more complex Will written, there may be additional costs and we advise that you speak to your chosen solicitor when you make contact).

It’s important when leaving a legacy in your will to us that you state that you specifically want this to go to Age UK Bournemouth, 700 Wimborne Road, Bournemouth, Dorset BH9 2EG and our registered charity number 1113294. This will ensure that your donation stays local and really will help people in your community rather than going into a national pot.
