Leave a gift in your Will

By leaving a legacy gift in your Will to Child Bereavement UK, you will be helping to create a future where all families in the UK have access to high-quality bereavement support when a child grieves, or a child dies.

We are delighted to offer our supporters the opportunity to write a simple* will or amend their existing Will for free through our partnership with the Free Wills Network. To take part, email [email protected] or call 01494 568949. You will be sent a pack from the Free Wills Network with a list of solicitors to choose from and all the information that you will need.

We know that when you are making your Will your loved ones will come first. But we hope, once you have taken care of your family and friends, that you will consider including a gift in your Will to Child Bereavement UK.

In 2023/2024 gifts left in Wills funded our entire service for 5 months. A gift of any amount will have a big impact.

*Child Bereavement UK will pay a discounted rate for a simple individual or simple mirror Will. If you require anything more than this, you may need to pay for additional work. Speak to your chosen solicitor for more information.

Your legacy could:

• Enable us to answer calls to our Helpline, such as from a father who is unsure as to how to tell his six-year-old daughter that her mother is dying, or from a headteacher concerned about how to support a pupil whose brother has just died. 
• Provide couples with bereavement support sessions after their child has died.
• Help us to train professionals such as police officers and paramedics to offer sensitive and appropriate support after a sudden death.

If you have any questions about writing your Will through the Free Wills Network, writing your Will and using your own solicitor, or about leaving a gift to Child Bereavement UK then please email [email protected] or call 01494 568949.

Thank you for your support, your gift will help bereaved families to rebuild their lives.
