REMEMBER A CHARITY
You may have heard that 3H FUND has joined with over 140 other charities to form Remember A Charity consortium www.rememberacharity.org.uk which aims to encourage more people to include their favourite cause in their will.
Legacies are a vital source of income for charities, but currently this is generated by only a small percentage of the UK population. However, the good news is that comprehensive research commissioned by Remember a Charity in 2008 revealed the 35% of people would consider including a gift to charity after providing for their family and friends.
If you would like more information please visit the Remember A Charity website or contact us in the 3H FUND office and we will give you details.
One of our volunteers is appearing in the media at the moment after taking part in a "Video Wills" Story.
The story is based on market research, recently commissioned by Remember A Charity, that revealed over half of the UK population would be interested in creating a video to explain their formal written last will and testament, and to leave a final personal message to their loved ones. Whilst also remembering their favourite charity or charities.
