Leaving a gift in your Will

When it comes to writing your Will, it’s only natural that you’ll think of your loved ones first. We respect that.

But once they’re taken care of, including a gift of any size to St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity is a way to leave a gift for everyone who needs our support, always.

Gary’s story

Gary’s mental health suffered after losing his younger brother five years ago. This led to him turning to alcohol to cope with the grief, leading to an alcohol dependency. The addiction spiralled out of control, causing problems in his relationship with his partner.

“It was either leave and be homeless, or get thrown out… So I made the choice to leave, to better myself, and for my kids as well.”

With support from Audrey at his local council, Gary found a flat near to his children, but he couldn’t afford the £490 deposit. An emergency grant from St Martin’s Charity covered it within two days, so Gary could move in straight away. “If it wasn’t for Audrey, I don’t know where I’d be now,” he says. “I couldn’t have done it without her, to tell you the truth.”

Looking ahead to Christmas, Gary is excited to spend quality time with his children. “I can’t wait to see their little faces when they open their presents. That’s the main reason for Christmas to me now.”

“I have supported St Martin-in-the Fields Charity for some years now…I'm always impressed by the difference the Charity is making to so many lives in communities around the country. We all want to be confident that any gift, and especially those left in Wills, however small, is put to the best possible use – and makes a difference to those who need it. I believe that St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity makes sure all gifts are used to the maximum benefit of those in need. That’s why I’ve remembered them in my Will – so I can continue to support the wonderful work they do, now and long into the future."
