Remember a loved one by giving in memory
Giving in memory of someone special is a personal way of remembering a loved one, whilst supporting the causes which were close to their heart during their lifetime. We know these gifts have extra meaning and we are always humbled to receive them. Fundraising in memory could include collecting donations in lieu of flowers at a funeral or celebration of life, donating on a special birthday or anniversary or setting up an ‘In Memory’ page to share memories and collect donations
Legacy giving
Thank you for considering leaving a gift in your Will to The Link Visiting Scheme. Your gift will help us to improve the lives of older people in Wokingham long into the future.

How to write your Will using a solicitor
Leaving a legacy is straightforward however we advise that you consult a solicitor who can advise how your Will is worded to ensure that your wishes are carried out exactly as you want them to be. If you wish to use a solicitor to draft your Will, the only information they will need is our charity registration number, which is: 1139248. It really is as simple as that! Here at the Link, we are supported by a number of local solicitors who offer a Will writing service, so please get in touch with us if you require any contact details. Your adviser will then be able to agree on the words and type of gift which suits your circumstances.
