"We understand that your Will is a deeply personal document, one that reflects your values and love for family.
Once you’ve taken care of those closest to you, even a small legacy gift can make an extraordinary difference.
Every legacy we receive helps children and adults with disabilities access therapies, develop independence, and take part in activities that make life brighter.
Your kindness today can create futures full of possibility." - Lorraine Ewing, CEO
Our promise to you:
Leaving a legacy is a deeply personal choice. We want you to feel completely confident in your decision.
That is why we make these promises to you:
- We respect that family and loved ones come first.
- We understand that writing your Will is personal to you.
- We will use your gift carefully and cost-effectively to help children, adults and their families.
- You do not have to tell us your plans - but if you do, we would love to thank you.
- You can always change your mind at any time.
Your trust means everything to us. We will always handle your wishes with care and respect.
Why your legacy matters:
Every gift in a Will helps us to:
- Provide specialist therapies and tailored support.
- Offer respite and wellbeing breaks for families under pressure.
- Develop new services so no one is ever turned away.
In Norfolk alone, we support more than 500 families each year - and the need continues to grow.
Your legacy will help us keep saying "Yes" to every family who needs us.
How to leave a gift in your Will:
It is simpler than you might think:
- Decide the type of gift
- You can leave:
- A share of your estate (residuary gift)
- A fixed sum of money (pecuniary gift)
- A specific item, such as property or shares
- Speak with your solicitor or Will writer
- They will make sure your wishes are carried out exactly as you intend.
- Include our charity details
- "I give [insert amount or percentage] to The Hamlet Charity (Registered Charity No.1000653) of The Hamlet, Johnson Place, NR2 1SJ for its general charitable purposes."
If you have already written your Will, you can simply add a short document called a codicil.
Thank you, your kindness lives on.
Leaving a gift in your Will costs nothing today, but it could change lives tomorrow.
Together, we can ensure that children and adults with disabilities across Norfolk continue to thrive, discover, and live life to the fullest.
