Gifts in wills

Leave a lasting gift

A gift in your will, large or small, helps us fund sessions, support carers, and be here for local people facing dementia. Your legacy can ensure friendship and support live on for future generations.

Friends and volunteers in pink cowboy hats sit in a circle and raise their arms to join in at the Parkgate and Neston memory café.
Legacy

A legacy gift is a lasting act of kindness. It could help us keep Musical Minds going, bring memory cafés to new places, or help families find friendship when they need it most.

Options

Three ways to give

Choose what suits you best

Leave a percentage

A residuary gift keeps its value as your estate grows over time.

Leave a fixed amount

Any amount helps, whether it's £1,000 or £100,000.

Donate in memory

Honour someone special and continue their story.

Process

Four simple steps to make your gift

Making a gift in your will takes just a few conversations. We've laid out each step so you know what to expect, and we're here if you want to talk things through at any point.

Decide your gift

Think about what matters to you: a percentage of your estate, a fixed amount, or a gift in memory of someone special. There's no pressure and no minimum.

Speak to your solicitor

Tell them you'd like to include Dementia Together Wirral (charity no. 1179533) in your will. They'll handle the legal side and make sure everything is in order.

Use suggested wording

Ask your solicitor to include this: "I leave [percentage/fixed amount] to Dementia Together Wirral (registered charity number 1179533), Commerce House, Campbeltown Road, Birkenhead CH41 9HP, to be used for its general charitable purposes."

Let us know

If you'd like to, tell us about your gift. We'd love to thank you, and you're welcome to visit a session to see the work in action. Keeping it confidential is absolutely fine too.
