The Gift of Time
Despite the busy lives we lead, it is always nice to pay your good fortune forward. Charity is not only about making a monetary difference, giving the gift of time allows for a deeper experience where you will be able to make a connection with somebody you may not have encountered in your natural day to day and have exchanges that not only enrich their lives but yours as well.

Donating in memory is a great way to help keep alive the kindness and good nature of a loved one who has passed away. If your loved one or someone close to you was a supporter of the True Care Foundation, or simply wanted to do something to make the world fairer place, then setting up a commemorative fund is a great way to celebrate their life and kindness.
There are a few ways that you can donate to the True Care Foundation in memory.
Setting up an interactive memorial page online is an increasingly popular way of giving in memory of a loved one. There are good websites for this such as Memory Giving, which works in partnership with leading UK funeral companies to create personalised fund pages as an extension of the client service. As friends and family visit the page to pay their respects, they can make a donation quickly, easily and securely.
Alternatively, you can organise a collection in the name of your loved one at their funeral or memorial service.
You could also set up a regular or single donation on behalf of your loved one.
Regardless of how much you are able to raise, True Care Foundation ensure that every penny is spent enriching the lives of low-income households.
Arranging to leave a gift in your Will to True Care Foundation is a great way to display your kindness. You can rest assured that your generosity will live on after you and that families in need of support during school holidays will continue to benefit.
Writing a Will means that your wishes are known, with your possessions taken care of. Writing a will is a big decision, we understand this and how making any changes to it are just as important. That is why we always suggest that you consult a solicitor.
There are three ways you can leave a gift in your Will:
- Residuary legacy – This is all, or a share of, the whole amount left of the estate and property that remains after all other payments have been made
- Pecuniary legacy – A gift of a fixed sum of money
- Specific legacy – A specific object or gift of property
If you already have a Will, you can add a codicil to make a simple change. Your solicitor will assist you with the wording that’s right for your personal circumstances.
