Leave a Legacy

Our advice services are more in demand today than ever before, and as we move into the future that demand looks set to grow even further. Any gift, however small, will help to ensure that we are still here for your family and friends, and their children and grandchildren.

Your will

Every adult should have a will, regardless of their age, income or wealth—it’s the only way of ensuring your wishes are met after your death. If you don’t make a will, your loved ones could face significant administrative and legal complications at a very difficult time.

There is information about writing a will on our website (click here). If you already have a will, it’s a simple process to change it to include a gift to Citizens Advice or a local Citizens Advice.

Your gift

Citizens Advice is a charity—that’s why we need your support. As independent charities, Citizens Advice and each of our 239 local Citizens Advice rely on the support of members of the public—people like you. Gifts left to charities in wills—usually known as legacies—don’t need to be large. Even a small percentage of your estate, left as a gift, can make a big difference.

None of us can predict what problems our families and friends—and their children and grandchildren—may face in the future. They might have money difficulties, a relationship breakdown or ill health. They might have a disability, face an employment dispute or become a victim of discrimination. We are determined to make sure that whatever problems they face in the future, they don’t have to face them alone. You can help us achieve this aim by leaving us a gift in your will.

How we will use your gift

Your gift could help us in many ways; you can choose Citizens Advice Leighton-Linslade to benefit from your support, you may also prefer to support a specific area of work with your gift e.g. improving our telephone advice service; supporting our financial capability work; or helping us to tackle discrimination

You can be assured that your gift will make a real difference to people’s lives and help us build healthier communities and a fairer society.
