Taking place between 9th and 15th September, Remember a Charity Week 2024 is a chance to talk about the huge impact of leaving a gift to charity in your will.
We’ve teamed up with Remember a Charity to make adding a charity to your will easier than you think. They list a wide range of charities and there are guides on informing a solicitor of your wishes. There is even a discounted will-writing service available.
For Step by Step, a legacy gift could make a huge difference to young people facing homelessness.
Jennifer Westmoreland, Fundraising Manager, explains: “These very special gifts play a vital role in funding our work and instrumental in helping young people turn their lives around. If you're thinking of making or updating a Will, our partnership with Remember a Charity can help you get started. Once you've provided for your own family and loved ones, please consider including a gift to Step by Step.”
Anne is one of our amazing legacy donors. “It was surprising that being homeless was something that could happen to a child, on our doorstep… I hope my legacy will help more young people to find a safe space in which to grow up and become independent.”

We welcome the PM's announcement. The funding matters, the urgency matters, and a government willing to say plainly that no one should sleep in a doorway is good news.
But if we are serious about ending rough sleeping, we cannot only wait until someone is already on the streets. We have to stop them getting there in the first place.
