Get Involved. Leave a lasting gift to Hospitality Action.
How you could make your will for free.
Making a Will is one of the most important things we can do during our lifetimes. It ensures your estate is handled according to your wishes after you’re gone and provides peace of mind. Alongside protecting your loved ones, a Will lets you support the causes closest to your heart.
Hospitality Action is a member of The National Free Wills Network. This enables us to offer a limited number of free ‘simple’ Wills through participating solicitors nationwide.
It is important to note there is no obligation to remember Hospitality Action in your Will, even if you take up this offer, but we hope you may consider doing so.
How to make or amend your Will.
When you make or amend your Will, it’s important to have a qualified solicitor take care of it for you. A properly written Will makes your intentions clear – and it can protect those close to you from having to deal with complex challenges down the line.
By making your Will through our partner, The National Free Wills Network, you’ll be connected with a qualified solicitor that’s local to you and they will help you write or amend a simple Will for free. There is never any charge for a standard Will, which is suitable for most people. If your circumstances are complicated and you require further legal advice, the legal firm will explain what’s needed and give you an upfront quote to review.
Think about the gift you'd like to leave.
If you’re considering including a gift to Hospitality Action when you make your Will, it can be helpful to think about the gift you might want to leave. There are three main types:
Residuary – A percentage of your estate after your other beneficiaries have been provided for.
Pecuniary – A fixed sum of money.
The next steps.
There are four simple steps to set up your Will.
All you need to do is email us at fundraising@hospitalityaction.org.uk with your name and address, using the subject heading: Free Will enquiry.
You will receive a Wills Pack from The Network detailing a list of up to six participating qualified solicitors closest to you.
You can then make an appointment with one of those solicitors to draw up or amend your Will. It’s convenient, free and local – most people on average have a choice of solicitors no more than 3.3 miles from home.
Hospitality Action pays for your Will to be written, at a special rate agreed with the solicitor.
Deciding who to include in your Will is one of the most meaningful decisions you can make. I am deeply grateful to anyone who is considering leaving a gift to Hospitality Action. By doing so, you will help support future generations of hospitality professionals who are facing challenges beyond their control. Thank you on behalf of them all.
