Leave a Legacy

Leaving a legacy donation after you pass away can be the biggest gift you can give to a small charity like ours, so we wanted to make it as simple as possible.

We've partnered with Free Wills to bring you the opportunity to make a will absolutely free of charge. You can read more about how Free Wills is able to provide this service with no charge on their website. Whilst setting up your will, you will be given the opportunity to make a donation to The Survivors Trust. Donations such as this are vital to our work supporting and maintaining the services that provide life changing care for survivors. At a time when reporting of sexual violence has never been higher yet conviction is achieved in only 2% of cases, our work lobbying for policy change is crucial. Help us to help survivors today by leaving us a donation in your will.
