Age UK

Age UK

Today, 2.5 million older people say they have no one to turn to when they need help most, and 1.4 million older people are chronically lonely.

Together, we can change this. Age UK is here for older people when they need us most – from providing an older person with a friendly telephone call each week, to helping people access the advice and support they need when facing the challenges of later life.

A gift in your will to Age UK could help us be there when an older person needs us most, and help make sure that years from now, no one is left to struggle on their own through the later years of their life. We hope you’ll agree that that’s a wonderful gift to give.

Will you help make sure older people like my wife and I aren’t forgotten?

‘This pandemic has been worse than the war. At least during the war, you were allowed out. The worst part has been not being able to see my wife.

Jess and I have been married for 67 years. We used to finish each other’s sentences. Then she started to forget things. At first I looked after her myself, but eventually she had to go into a home.

Before coronavirus, I was going to see Jess almost every day. But the care home had to close the doors to keep everyone safe.

 

 

This is the longest we’ve been apart. I wonder if she’s sitting there thinking that I’ve abandoned her.

Thankfully, I have Lisa from Age UK, who rings me every week to see how I’m doing.

I’ve been so worried by all the news about care homes - but I can talk it over with Lisa. It’s a lifeline really, until I can hold my Jess’s hand again.’

With a gift in your will, you can help ensure people like Ted will have someone to turn to in the years to come.

Coronavirus & Will Aid

 

We appreciate that these are uncertain times for everyone.

When booking your appointment, rest assured that all our Will Aid solicitors will be following the most up-to-date government health advice to ensure that face-to-face meetings remain safe.

Many firms will be able to write your Will at a distance via a phone or online consultation - some firms will only be offering their services remotely.

Please discuss your requirements when arranging your Will Aid appointment.
