Making a difference with Jessie May

Why do we support Jessie May?

Jessie May’s mission is to provide the very best care and support to the whole family at home, from the point of their child’s diagnosis through respite, end-of-life care, and bereavement. Its work touches countless lives by offering compassion, dignity, and expert care to families facing challenging circumstances.

However, less than 20% of the funding required to provide such care is statutory. The rest comes from generous people like you.

By leaving a legacy in your Will, you can contribute to their incredible efforts, ensuring that more families receive the vital services they need.

Why do I need a Will?

A Will is more than a legal document; it’s a way to ensure your wishes are carried out, protect your loved ones, and provide clarity during a difficult time. Without a valid Will, your estate may not be distributed as you intend, which could cause stress and complications for your family.

By creating a Will, you can:

• Ensure your estate is distributed according to your wishes.
• Appoint guardians for minor children.
• Protect your assets for future generations.
• Support causes close to your heart, like Jessie May, through charitable gifts.

The IHT benefits of charitable gifting

Leaving a charitable gift in your Will not only supports organisations like Jessie May but can also reduce your Inheritance Tax liability.

• Tax-Free Gifts: Any amount you leave to a registered charity is exempt from IHT and can help reduce the value of your estate below current thresholds, potentially eliminating or lowering the tax burden on your estate.
• Reduced Tax Rate: If you leave 10% or more of your estate to charity, any IHT due on your estate reduces from 40% to 36%.
