Remember the Rainy Day Trust in your Will
You can remember the charity, without incurring any immediate outlay to yourself, by leaving a legacy to the trust in your Will.
The importance of making a Will
Making a Will is the only way to ensure that your affairs are handled properly after death. It is simple to do, relatively inexpensive, doesn’t take long and will shield your dependants and loved ones from complex legal procedures after your death.
Your Will can help those who are really in need
Although the Rainy Day Trust has an illustrious history, stretching back for more than a century and a half, our focus is very much on the future and assisting those that need our help. By remembering the Rainy Day Trust in your Will, you can help to build a better future for the people of your industry and make significant differences in their future.
How to help
We strongly recommend that you consult a legal advisor when making, or changing your will. However, the following wording may be useful:
