Leave a legacy. Change a life

A gift in your Will can help us care for future generations and make a lasting difference across Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust.

Free Wills Month
Your wishes. Their future.

Making a will is one of the most important things you can do for the people and causes you care about. It gives you the opportunity to put your wishes in writing and create peace of mind for the future.

This October, Free Wills Month is a reminder to make time for that conversation. Through our partner, Accord Legal Services, Royal Berks Charity supporters can access a free, fully advised will-writing service and talk through their wishes with a professional adviser.

Once you’ve looked after your loved ones, you may also choose to leave a gift to Royal Berks Charity. A gift in your will could help future generations of patients and families receive the extra care, comfort and support that make such a difference during difficult times.

Every gift, no matter its size, is a lasting act of kindness, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who chooses to remember us in this special way

Whether large or small, your gift in your Will helps fund life-saving equipment, enhance patient care, and support the hardworking NHS Staff who make a difference  every day.
