Thank you for considering leaving a Legacy to the Brain & Spine Foundation
In the UK, at least 1 in 6 people are affected by a neurological problem.
Whether you choose to leave a share of your estate or a sum of money, it will make a big difference to the lives of those affected by neurological conditions.
Legacies left to the Brain & Spine Foundation help us to provide:
- A free, confidential Helpline service run by neuroscience nurses
- Clear and up-to-date information through our booklets and website
- Online support groups where people can connect and support each other
People affected by a neurological problem may face life-changing symptoms or disabilities; and often experience significant delays and difficulty in accessing the right care and support. Our neuroscience nurse-led helpline can help with preparing for appointments, explain medical terms and procedures, as well as providing tailored advice and support.
We are here for someone at any stage of their journey and for many people, the information and support they find through our services simply doesn’t exist anywhere else.
To leave a legacy to the Brain & Spine Foundation, you need to have a valid Will, properly drawn up and witnessed. There are many benefits to having a Will – it puts you in control of your estate; it can help save inheritance tax and it enables you to make an impact on the lives of others.
If you are planning to make or change your Will, we strongly advise you use a solicitor. If you do not know a solicitor, you can call Irwin Mitchell to connect with a solicitor on our dedicated national phone number: 0333 0100 357 and reference ‘Brain & Spine Foundation’ (all calls will be charged at your local standard rate), or use the link to the online form. Alternatively, you can also visit the Law Society’s website to find one.
