A Gift in Your Will
“I’ve been involved with St Michael’s for many years, both as a Trustee and friend. I’ve seen how they help so many children and vulnerable families and the compassionate and skilled way they guide parents through difficult times. In addition to their highly professional Residential Assessments, the support for young parents in Lambeth and their work with young fathers is both innovative and exceptional. The charity constantly grows and develops, meeting new needs and situations in society as they arise. My respect and affection for them is immense and it is for these reasons that I have left them a legacy in my Will. I believe a legacy looks back and also forward to St Michael’s continuing story.” Penny Alford, St Michael’s Trustee 2007-2016
Leave a gift in your will and change children’s lives for generations
A gift in your will can help future generations of children grow up happier, more secure, and ready to be loving parents themselves.
We’ve been supporting local families since 1903. As times have changed, so have we — but safeguarding and nurturing children has always been at the heart of everything we do.
By leaving a gift to St Michael’s Fellowship in your will, you can help our work continue for many years to come.
You can talk to our Head of Fundraising about leaving a gift to St Michael’s Fellowship in your will: admin@stmichaelsfellowship.org.uk or 020 8835 9570.
Including St Michael’s Fellowship in your will
It’s important to use the correct wording. If you choose to remember St Michael’s Fellowship, please include our: Registered Charity Number: 1035820
If you already have a will
You can easily add a gift using a codicil form. Get in touch for a sample to help with your planning.
A solicitor or professional advisor can guide you through the wording. Our Leaving a Gift in Your Will workbook can also help you prepare for your meeting — you can download it below.
A gift to charity is free of inheritance tax and there may be additional tax benefits which a professional advisor should explain to you.
Letting us know (optional but helpful)
You’re under no obligation to tell us if you have chosen to leave a gift in your will — and you can change your will at any time.
However, if you are happy to share your intentions, it would mean a lot to us. We’d love the chance to thank you and keep you updated on the difference your future gift could make.
Every year, children and their families achieve meaningful life outcomes through the dedicated support of St Michael’s Fellowship. Arthur knew just how much our work mattered. A much-loved and highly respected former trustee and supporter, Arthur remained connected to the charity he cared so deeply for, continuing to read our newsletters until just weeks before he sadly passed away in 2025.
When Arthur’s family chose to encourage donations in his memory, they ensured that his passion for helping families lived on. Gifts like these make an enormous difference to our work – providing families with practical support, advice, and hope. They enable us to help families now and for years to come.Arthur Hughes, St Michael’s Trustee
