If you could do one thing to make the world a better place, what would it be? Would you give every disabled child the chance to go to school? Ensure that disabled people can provide food for their families? Or give an amputee the means to walk again? You might think that just a few people have the power to bring about such fundamental change. But we disagree.
Of course, when thinking about making a will, your loved ones will always come first. However, if you included Handicap International UK in your will as well, even just a small gift would mean that you would help make the world a fairer place for people with disabilities.
If you would prefer donations to floral tributes in your memory, it is a good idea to let your executors know of your wishes, or to include it in the details about your funeral.
If you have any queries about legacies or In Memoriam donations, please contact us by email at supportcare@hi-uk.org.
