This week, we’ll be putting legacy giving in the spotlight. ‘Remember A Charity’ Week is a great opportunity to think about the charitable work you support, and the causes you want others to know more about.

We would love if you would consider supporting the Down’s Syndrome Research Foundation UK, as gifts like this make a huge difference to the Foundation and allow us to continue our work.

For ideas on practical steps you can take, we have put together some information that you may find helpful. Another great resource, giving answers to Frequently Asked Questions on leaving a gifts in your will, can also be found here.

We are linking with Remember a Charity to promote this way of supporting charities. They have some excellent practical tools:

• You can write your will for free online using their partner’s services.
• Further, we can also share a benefit available to our supporters in this week: you can register your will for free this week at the National Wills Register using the code: RACWeek2025. Registering your will helps safeguard your final wishes.

You can also read some inspiring stories of people who have helped us in the past.

Together, we can truly achieve remarkable things (like launching the world’s first Down Syndrome and Sleep Research Network) – and we cannot do this kind of work without your support. Leaving us a gift in your will truly makes a difference.

Thank you for your help, in every way, big and small.
