Throughout March supporters are encouraged to lend their backing to Foundation of Light, Sunderland AFC’s official charity, through legacy giving.
Free Wills Month takes place twice a year – in March and October – to give anyone aged 55 and over the chance to have their Will written or updated for free.
You don’t need us to tell you that your will is important. It gives you peace of mind that your loved ones are going to be looked after and confidence that your final wishes will be realised. In addition to making sure that your family is looked after, your will is also a way of supporting a place or a cause close to your heart. These days, many people are choosing to leave a gift to charity in their will.
Gifts that supporters leave in their will can help fund the Foundation’s vital work across Sunderland and beyond, changing young people’s futures; improving physical and mental health and supporting families in challenging circumstances.
The impact of coronavirus will be long lasting on those communities, which experience inequality and deprivation. In the years to come the Foundation will need to re-double their efforts to make a difference.
Your support has never been needed more than now.
In the past year, the Foundation has:- helped 800 gain employability skills and qualifications - diverted 900 youngsters away from crime and anti-social behaviour - supported 1,500 who were socially isolated as a result of lockdown - improved sports skills and ability in over 5,000 young people
If you are interested in leaving money or an item of value to Foundation of Light, please talk to your solicitor. Alternatively, the Foundation have partnered with Hay & Kilner’s will writing service to provide advice and help in writing your will, for a no obligation free consultation.
Contact Hay & Kilner on 0191 232 8345 or email lawyers@hay-kilner.co.uk quoting FOL21.
