Make a Bequest
Making a will is an important part of planning for the future. After you have provided for your loved ones, you might consider including The Big Issue as a beneficiary.
By leaving a bequest to The Big Issue in your will, you can leave a lasting legacy that will help us help some of the most vulnerable people in our community to lead independent and fulfilling lives. Whatever the size or your bequest, it is a simple way to make the contribution of a lifetime.
It is important to review your will regularly to ensure that it always accurately reflects your wishes. This is particularly important when you have nominated specific monetary sums within your will, as inflation may erode the value of your gifts to family members, loved ones or charities you wish to support. Please always seek professional advice from your solicitor or Trustee Company before drafting a new will or altering any existing will.
If you have already made a will, consider asking your solicitor to add a codicil, which will incorporate your gift to The Big Issue. This may be in the form of a cash legacy, bequest of property, a proportional bequest of your estate or a residual bequest.
