We’re committed to ensuring you have full peace of mind when it comes to succession planning, and any arrangements you may wish to make for gifts in your will as part of your estate planning. We can engage wider family members in the process, as appropriate, and provide additional support for those wishing to coach and encourage emerging generations to start their own journeys of generosity.

Charity Champion for Remember A Charity 

Legacies are a vital source income to UK charities, generating almost £4 billion for good causes each year. We are proud to be a Charity Champion for Remember A Charity, working together with charities and the legal sector to raise awareness of and celebrate the significant impact of charitable gifts in wills. 

Every September, charities, legal partners, government and others come together for Remember A Charity Week, to celebrate and raise awareness of legacy giving.

Legacy resources

You can create your legacy with Stewardship in three easy steps. Download our handy guide for further information. If you do leave a gift to Stewardship in your will, you can let us know your charitable preferences using our Expression of Wishes form which you can then update at any time without the need to involve your solicitor. Our briefing paper on legacy giving provides a lot more detailed information about the different aspects of legacy giving.  

Our Head of Legal, Rachel Steeden, has produced some helpful material about legacy giving for Christian media platform Premier. Follow the link below to read her blog on how to ensure your legacy gift is made tax-efficiently. At the bottom of the blog you'll be able to play a recording of a short interview Rachel did with Premier to explain helpful next steps and the importance of writing your will and then keeping it up-to-date.
