Leave a Lasting Legacy of Hope
Your legacy can transform lives and create sustainable change for generations to come in Brent's most vulnerable communities.
Your Legacy Will Create Transformative Change
By including Pathways to Progress in your Will, you're investing in evidence-based solutions that prevent crisis and build resilience
Reduction in carer breakdown through early intervention programmes
Potential annual savings to Brent public services through preventative support
Return on investment for every £1 spent on carer support programmes
Why legacy giving matters: Unlike one-time donations, legacy gifts provide sustainable funding that allows us to plan long-term programmes with greater impact. They represent the most significant investment our supporters can make in creating lasting change.
Ways to Include Us in Your Will
There are several ways to leave a gift in your Will, each with different benefits
Residual Gift
Leave a percentage of your estate after other gifts and expenses have been distributed. This protects your gift against inflation and ensures your loved ones are provided for first.
Pecuniary Gift
A fixed sum of money specified in your Will. Many supporters choose to index-link this amount to protect against inflation over time.
Specific Gift
Leave a specific asset such as property, shares, or valuable items. These gifts can be sold to fund our programmes or used directly if appropriate.
Tax benefits: Gifts to charities in your Will are exempt from Inheritance Tax. If you leave at least 10% of your net estate to charity, the Inheritance Tax rate on the rest of your estate may be reduced from 40% to 36%.
