Leaving a gift in your will

When making your will, it’s important to know that your loved ones will be cared for. Once you have made provisions for those closest to you, we hope you might consider leaving a gift to Grove Cottage.

Grove Cottage is a local charity, established in 1966, providing social and educational activities for people of all ages with learning disabilities and complex needs, and their families. By leaving a gift in your will, you’ll be helping to secure the future of Grove Cottage. Your support will ensure we can continue helping our members and their families for generations to come.

Every legacy, no matter the size, makes a lasting difference.

Writing a will

If you do not have a will we recommend using a reputable solicitor or a member of the Institute of professional Will Writers to help. Please click here to search for a solicitor via The Law Society website.

Updating an existing will

If you have a will that you wish to amend you can do this by making an official alteration called a codicil. You must sign a codicil and get it witnessed in the same way as witnessing a will. It is advised that for major or multiple changes you should make a new will. Please refer to our Codicil Factsheet before creating your Codicil Form.
