Winston Solicitors has once again shown its commitment to supporting national awareness campaigns by taking part in Remember a Charity in Your Will Week 2025, which ran from 8–14 September.
The campaign, led by Remember a Charity, encourages people to consider leaving a gift to charity in their Will. Such gifts generate billions of pounds for good causes each year, funding essential services ranging from medical research to community projects. Despite this, only a small percentage of people currently include a charity in their Will.
The Leeds-based firm’s Private Client team, which specialises in Wills, Trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney and Probate, used the week to raise awareness, share advice and speak directly with clients about how easy it can be to leave a legacy. The team highlighted the flexibility of charitable giving through Wills, whether by leaving a set sum of money, a percentage of the estate, or even specific possessions. They also advised on the potential tax benefits, including a reduced rate of Inheritance Tax when 10% or more of an estate is gifted to charity.
Earlier this year, Winston Solicitors also took part in Update Your Will Week, helping to promote the importance of reviewing Wills regularly as circumstances change. Both campaigns reflect the firm’s ongoing efforts to support clients in planning for the future while also encouraging people to think about the wider impact of their legacies.
Monika Volsing, Head of Private Client at Winston Solicitors said: “Remember a Charity in Your Will Week is an excellent opportunity to highlight just how much of a difference even a small legacy gift can make. We were delighted to play our part in raising awareness for a local charity and supporting clients to make decisions that benefit both their loved ones and the causes they care about.”
