Gifts in Wills
Have you considered leaving a gift in your
Will to Samaritans?
Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the most generous ways you
can help Samaritans.
Many people think gifts left in Wills have to be large, or
that you have to be rich to do it; but you don't. Every penny
makes a difference to the lives of people in emotional
distress.
Family and friends should always come first, but the next time
you update your WIll - or make one - why not consider if there's
room for Samaritans there too?
For committed supporters, it's often the last step in a lifetime
of charitable giving, and a way to ensure that causes closest to
your heart are taken care of after you've passed away.
Helping people like Helen
A gift in your Will could help Samaritans plan for the future as
well as help people like Helen (not her real name), who called
Samaritans when she was in her early thirties.
In quick succession, Helen faced a health crisis, family
bereavment and the loss of her vocation, and she was left
struggling with deep depression.
"Samaritans is definitely the reason I'm
still alive today," says Helen. "When I called, the volunteer
on the other end of the phone listened as I unloaded all the
emotions that had been bringing me down... After talking things
through with him, I felt like a difrerent person; a person with a
life ahead of them."
It cost just £3.88 to answer Helen's call. Can you help us be
there for the thousands of others who need us every year, now and
in the future? Remembering Samaritans in your Will is just
one way of doing that, like one supporter who told us this:
"In 1994, my yougest son took his own life
whilst at university. He had suffered for some time with
depression, and ultimately found it impossible to deal with the
depth of his feelings.
The pain my family and I have endured has, at times, been almost
unbearable. By leaving a gift in my Will to Samaritans, I can
help provide other young people with a lifeline and hopefully save
families from the agony we went through."
