Leave a Gift in your Will

Every single gift we receive is vital to the work we do.

Our goal is to fulfil the dreams of as many children with serious or life-limiting conditions from disadvantaged backgrounds in the UK as possible, and your gift will go towards making this happen.

A gift of any size will help us continue to deliver moments of magic to children with a disability, serious illness or a life limiting condition living the highest areas of social deprivation in the country.

The lasting legacy of William and Ruth Lockley

In 2001 William and Ruth made joint Wills.

They wished the residue of their estate to be a gift to a charity which reflected their values about life. Their desire to use some of the money they had worked hard for to enrich the futures of children for whom life presented challenges and for whom a modest gift would have a real and lasting memory.

Ruth’s sister said: “in the final days of his (William’s) life, as he battled terminal illness, his greatest concern was that the legacy of their lives together should live on and multiply by the very act of sharing far and wide to those children in need”

Join the Lockleys this October, protect your family and leave a legacy that will go on to support the children in greatest need here in the UK.

We would like to thank William and Ruth, two very special people, who have made a real difference. We would also like to thank their family for allowing us to share their story to inspire others to leave a gift in their Will.
