Every child deserves to experience the joy of childhood, but all too often disabled children don’t have the same opportunities as others.
Leaving a gift in your Will to Newlife ensures we can continue in our life-changing work supporting disabled children and their families to get the equipment, information, advice and opportunities for play they need.

Ways of leaving a gift in your Will
Lump sum: Leaving a fixed sum of money makes an instant contribution to our charity, and this is also sometimes referred to as a pecuniary gift. It is often worth reviewing a pecuniary gift from time to time, as inflation can reduce its value.
Share of estate: After family and friends are provided for, you can leave a share of what’s left to us, and this is sometimes known as a residuary gift. Residuary gifts keep up with inflation, so you may not need to update your Will in future.
Valuable possession: You can choose to leave a particularly valuable item, such as furniture, jewellery or even a property, that may increase in value over the long term.x.

How legacies change lives
Olive’s story
Olive was disabled from birth herself and understood the importance of independence. She wanted to leave a gift to Newlife in her Will, so that others could enjoy a better future.
Olive liked everyone to be happy. She was a thoughtful lady and wanted her money to help others. As a family we have also benefitted from Newlife, as Olive’s great-grandnephew Oscar received a car seat recently. It’s wonderful that Olive’s legacy will help other children get the equipment they really need.
Teresa, Olive’s Aunt
