Leave Your Local Legacy

​

When you’re ready, here’s how we can help you:

​

  • Determine what you most love and care about in your community and showing you how you could support and impact causes that matter to you

​

  • Providing information on giving strategies

​

  • Connecting you with local causes, programmes or charities doing good work in your community

​

  • Tailoring a plan of how you would like your money to be used

​

  • Simplifying the process by managing all administration, investments and distributing the income – you get to say where your gift goes, which is the best bit!
