Gifts in wills

Whatever your story, a gift allows us to continue supporting dementia carers.

Making a will ensures your property, possessions and investments go to the people and causes you care about.

Family and friends come first. But once you have looked after your loved ones, leaving a gift in your will to Dementia Carers Count can help us be there for people who need us.

Any gift, no matter the amount, can make a significant difference to the lives of people caring for friends or family with dementia and will mean we can continue to run our courses free of charge.

As the number of people living with dementia grows so will the number of people caring for them – your gift can help ensure they can access our services when they need them most.

A gift in your will can help people like Mah

Your gift can help people like Mah access services like our free courses. Mah helped care for her mum with Alzheimer’s and went on one of our courses when she felt she wasn’t coping as well as she had done in the past.

On the impact the course had, she says ‘before I went on the Dementia Carers Count course I was tired and exhausted all the time. I began to have panic attacks – these disappeared after I did the course!’ I can honestly say it absolutely changed my life… Its given me strength to do all the things I need to do.’

A gift in your will could help more people like Mah attend our expert led courses and develop resilience to help them care for themselves as well as their loved one with dementia.
