After looking after their loved ones, many people decide to leave a gift in their Will to a charity that is close to their heart. 

Last year, 28% of our income at the Huntington’s Disease Association came from gifts left to the charity in supporters’ Wills. We couldn’t continue our work without these incredibly generous donations.

If you decide to leave a gift to the Huntington’s Disease Association in your Will, your support will make such a difference to our work, both now and in future – thank you.

How your gift could make a difference

We are incredibly grateful for every gift, large or small we receive at the Huntington’s Disease Association. Our work supporting people, families and carers affected by Huntington’s disease simply could not happen without the generosity of our supporters.

The income we receive from gifts in Wills allows us to make plans for the future, to ensure that we’ll be there for people affected by Huntington’s disease for years to come.

In the past year, we have supported thousands of people affected by Huntington’s disease – from one-to-one support through our Specialist Huntington’s Advisory Service to our specialised weekend events such as the family weekend and Juvenile Huntington's disease weekend; our booklets and guides are available for health and social care professionals as well as individuals seeking more information on the many different aspects of Huntington’s disease and our welfare grants scheme provides direct financial support to those who desperately need it. The demand for our services grows each year.

The Huntington's Disease Association has been a huge source of support, advice and friendship to our family for many years now. In a recent newsletter, we read about the partnership between the Huntington's Disease Association and the National Free Wills Network. We’d been putting off getting our wills sorted out for years, but this prompted us to look into it further. We’re so pleased that we did. The process was really straightforward, with an excellent local solicitor completing our mirror wills within about a month. So we have ticked something off our ‘to do’ list, but, more importantly, we are delighted to leave a gift which we hope will help secure the long-term future of the Huntington's Disease Association, helping families for many years to come.
