Gifts in wills
There is a mental health crisis and more children than ever urgently need support.
Gifts in wills are crucial for our long-term progress. They allow us to support ongoing, ambitious programmes instead of one-off projects. They can back multi-year clinical trials. They can create new, accessible therapies. They can build a strong workforce through fellowships and training. They can also fund targeted initiatives to help ensure our services benefit everyone. We would be honoured to help you shape a legacy that reflects your values and your commitment to improving young lives.
How to leave a gift to the King's Maudsley Partnership
We always recommend seeking formal legal or financial advice from your solicitor when preparing or updating your will. You can also write your will for free through our trusted partner Farewill, the largest will-writing service in the UK, from the comfort of your home, at a time that suits you.
If you would prefer to speak with a solicitor directly, the Law Society website at www.lawsociety.org.uk offers helpful guidance on how to find one.
Give in memory of someone special
A gift in memory of a loved one is a powerful way to honour their life and carry forward their hope for a better future. Many families give this way so their loved one's story can bring about change. This helps other children and young people get the care and support they need.
Your generosity can support research into mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions. It can also fund early intervention programmes that help young people before issues grow. Plus, it can support innovative treatments that provide help more quickly and fairly.
Giving in memory can take several forms: a one-off donation, a collection at a funeral or a celebration of life, or fundraising for someone special. However you choose to remember them, your gift becomes part of a legacy that transforms lives and helps ensure that future generations of young people have access to the support they need, when they need it most.
