Leave a gift in your Will  

Just 1% left in your Will to the Encephalitis Society can make the world of difference. 

Charities such as the Encephalitis Society depend on the generosity of our supporters to survive.  

One way you can make an enormous difference, is by pledging a gift in your Will. It is likely to be the most transformative gift you will make in your entire life – and if you take advantage of our Free Will scheme for Members, it will cost you nothing today.  

The Encephalitis Society is not asking you to give away your life’s savings to a charitable cause. We understand that family and friends come first, and this is how it should be. But once your loved ones have been provided for, if you can spare a modest amount for a cause close to your heart – it will make such a big difference.  

Leaving a gift in your Will ensures that the Encephalitis Society, and its crucial work for those affected by encephalitis, will continue. Your gift means we can continue providing information and support for future generations. It means we can fund research into quicker diagnosis, effective treatments and restorative rehabilitation.  

A gift in your Will could help to save lives.  

How to leave your gift 

It is very simple to leave a charitable gift. All you need to know is the name, address and registered charity number for your solicitor to add your chosen charity.
