Should I let you know I’ve included Child Bereavement UK in my Will?

You do not have to tell us anything. If you use a solicitor through the Free Wills network and choose to leave a gift to Child Bereavement UK, we will be notified. If you use your own solicitor and choose to leave a gift to Child Bereavement UK, we’d love to hear from you, you can email [email protected]. And if you are also willing to tell us what has motivated you to support our work in this way, your story could be a real inspiration to others.
