We know including The Forward Trust in your will is a big decision.
Your family and loved ones come first, but a gift of any size makes a huge difference to us - and those we support.
Leaving a gift in your Will has the opportunity to truly transform and save lives.
Since 1991, we've been able to provide support to more than 925,000 vulnerable people. Many of which go on to inspire others, showing that rehabilitation and recover are possible.
Your gift enables us to keep fighting the ongoing fight, challenging the stigma attached to all areas of our work: addiction, homelessness, unemployment and life during and after prison. It allows us to offer a healthier, better-lived life, and second chance to future generations of people whose challenges root them in unhealthy lifestyles they are unable to escape from without outside help.

Without a Will, the government decides how your estate is distributed. This can cause unnecessary stress and complexity for your loved ones. Having a Will ensures your wishes are known and respected – and delivered upon.
Although the idea of a Will - no matter what age we are - can sound a bit scary, writing or updating it doesn’t have to be complicated. That’s why we’ve partnered with Kwil – a free online or over-the-phone Will-writing service. Kwil offers expert, professional support to help you create a legally binding Will.
Rest assured, if using Kwil's services, you don’t have to include a gift to The Forward Trust in your Will.
You can write your Will in these three easy steps:

If you’ve already decided to leave a gift to The Forward Trust – thank you. While it’s entirely up to you whether you let us know you plan to do this, knowing about your pledge helps us to plan for the future.
We’d also love the opportunity to thank you and to keep you updated about how your legacy makes a difference. So if you’re comfortable, please get in touch with our team and let us know your preferences.
If you're named as the executor of a Will with a gift to The Forward Trust, we’re here to support you. Please get in touch and consider leaving a message about your loved one on our Remembrance Wall.
