Gifts in your will

Why leave a legacy to Carers UK?

A gift in your will to Carers UK can be the most powerful way to support the 6 million carers who provide unpaid care for a loved one on a daily basis. All gifts, whatever size, will offer vital support to our services - it could help run our helpline, fund a training seminar for carers to campaign at a local level or enable us to send out vital information booklets to those new to caring.  By leaving a gift in your will to Carers UK, you can help us build a better future for carers. 

How your legacy can help make a difference

Marianne, 56 from South Yorkshire has included a gift in her Will to Carers UK to support the CarersLine. 

"I have been caring full time for my husband since he suffered a stroke 3 years ago.  Since that night our lives have never been the same again, and I had no idea where to turn to.  I rang the free CarersLine number and spoke to a lady who told me about the financial help and support available to carers.  Leaving a gift in my Will to Carers UK is the best way I can say thank you and to show my support for them.  I can't afford to donate at this stage but leaving a gift will cost me nothing now and I hope it will help others with similar experiences get help and advice".

CarersLine responds to over 60,000 calls each year, with the average caller ending up £25 a week better off as a result of the information received. It is literally a lifeline for millions of carers.
