Leave a legacy

The last couple of years have prompted many of us to reflect on the things that matter the most – family, friends and the causes close to your heart. We have also been reminded of the value of planning for the future, to help look after the things we care about most. 

Gifts in Wills mean that for the encephalitis community, there is a lifeline, a hand to hold and an ear to listen. After taking care of your family and friends, even a small amount can make a huge impact to our life-saving work today, tomorrow and long into the future.

Leave a Legacy

An Encephalegacy is a life-changing gift in your Will which will help build a better world for the 500,000 people affected by encephalitis each year. Through an Encephalegacy, you can help enable the Encephalitis Society to pioneer new world-class research and continue providing vital support to those affected by brain inflammation. Together, we will be able to accelerate our understanding of this devastating condition and help build a brighter future for people with encephalitis.
