Leaving a Legacy
A legacy gift in your will is one of the most powerful and enduring ways to make a lasting difference in the lives of people with disabilities. By leaving a gift to St. Michael’s House Foundation, you will help us continue to provide essential services, support, and care to children and adults for generations to come.
A Legacy of Compassion and Care
Your legacy is a reflection of your values and the compassion you carry in your heart. By choosing to include St. Michael’s House Foundation in your will, you will ensure that your kindness and empathy live on, supporting those who need it most. Whether you choose to support a specific programme or leave a gift that can be used where it is needed most, your contribution will have a lasting impact on the lives of individuals and families in our care.
Securing the Future of Our Services
Legacy gifts are transformative. They help ensure the future of vital services that provide care, education, and opportunities for people with disabilities. By leaving a legacy, you are helping us plan for the future and invest in innovative programmes, therapies, and resources that will improve the quality of life for thousands of people. Every gift, no matter the size, contributes to a brighter future for our community.
How to Leave a Legacy
Including St. Michael’s House Foundation in your will is a simple and tax-effective way to give. Legacy gifts are exempt from inheritance tax, making it an efficient way to support our mission. Whether you already have a will or need to create one, the process is straightforward:
1. Speak with your Solicitor: If you already have a solicitor, you can discuss adding a legacy gift to your existing will. If not, finding a solicitor to help you draft a will is easy and affordable.
2. Decide How You Wish to Give: You can choose to leave a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate after providing for your loved ones. You can also designate your gift to support a specific project or area of our work that resonates with you.
3. Provide Our Details: You will need to provide your solicitor with our charity details:

Every legacy gift makes a meaningful difference.
