Leave a Legacy

Gift in your will

By leaving a gift in your will to Autism Together, you’re ensuring that we can continue to support brighter futures for autistic people in Wirral.

Why Leaving a Will Matters

How Your Legacy Can Change Lives

Making a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and ensure your wishes are honoured. It gives you peace of mind, knowing that your estate will be handled as you intend, and it can help avoid confusion, delays, and legal costs for your family in the future. 

For families who have an autistic loved one, writing a will is especially important. A carefully prepared specialist will can ensure that your loved one is provided for in a way that won’t affect their entitlement to means-tested benefits. It can also help avoid costly legal fees later on, by clearly setting out your wishes and reducing the risk of disputes or uncertainty. 

By including a gift to Autism Together in your will, you can also leave a lasting legacy that supports our work for years to come. Legacy gifts – no matter the size – help us continue to provide high-quality care, develop innovative services, and advocate for a more inclusive society.

Gifts in Memory

A Lasting Tribute to a Loved One

Losing someone we love is never easy, but remembering them through a meaningful act can bring comfort and hope. Making a gift in memory to Autism Together is a powerful way to honour a loved one’s life while helping to shape a better future for autistic people and their families. 

Whether your loved one had a personal connection to autism, supported our work during their lifetime, or simply believed in creating a more inclusive world, a donation in their name is a lasting tribute that continues their legacy of kindness and compassion.

In memory of mum Margery, grandmother of a person we support.

"She was always very grateful for the love and attention given to Olivia by her core carer team, Lesley, Nicola and Karen, in her little flat at Weatherstone's Court..."

"...Never being a person who sought attention for herself from others,  she didn't want family and friends spending money on flowers at her funeral. She wanted her death to have some meaningful benefit for Autism Together."

Ways to Give in Memory

There are several ways you can make a gift in memory: 

  • One-off donation in your loved one’s name 
  • Collection at a funeral or memorial service 
  • Setting up a tribute fund where friends and family can contribute over time  (link to Memory Giving http://www.memorygiving.com) 
  • Fundraising in their memory, such as taking part in a sponsored event 

Every gift, no matter the size, helps us continue our vital work – providing care, support, and opportunities for autistic people to live the life they choose. 

If you’d like to talk to us about making a gift in memory, setting up a tribute fund, or how your donation will be used, we’re here to help – with compassion, care, and gratitude.
