Leave a legacy of welcome
Leave a legacy of welcome. By remembering Nottingham Refugee Forum, you can help create a future people seeking refuge are met with support and the chance to rebuild their lives with dignity.
We know that including us in your will is a big decision, and that your loved ones come first. But all gifts make a life-changing difference for individuals and families seeking sanctuary in Nottingham.
Leaving a gift in your Will ensures your values continue shaping the future. Your gift could help ensure someone arriving in Nottingham after fleeing the world’s worst crimes is not met with fear or isolation, but with welcome, advice, friendship. It could enable us to individuals and their families to find safety, rebuild their confidence, and to feel like they belong.

“Leaving a gift in my Will felt like a way to carry my values forward. I wanted to do my part so that future individuals and their families in Nottingham and Nottingham feel safe and welcomed for many more years to come.” Dave, Legacy Pledger
We believe that everyone should have a valid Will. Although the process can seem complicated, we’re here to help make it simpler. There’s no obligation to leave a gift to Nottingham Refugee Forum when using this service – your loved ones always come first. Once they’re provided for, we hope you might consider supporting our work with a gift in your Will.

Do I get legal advice when writing my Will with Farewill?
Farewill makes will writing simple by providing online and telephone services that guide you through the process. Their team of specialists check your will for clarity and completeness.
However, Farewill is not a law firm, and they don’t provide individual legal advice. If you have complex circumstances – for example, detailed tax planning needs – you should speak to a solicitor.
Call Farewill on (+44) 020 8050 2686 and they will let you know if your situation falls outside what their service can cover.
What type of gifts can I leave to the charity?
You can leave a specific amount of money, a percentage of your estate, or even a specific item. There are three main types of gifts:
-
- A share of your estate (residuary gift)
- A fixed sum of money (pecuniary gift)
- A specific item, such as jewellery or property
The decision of what kind of gift to leave, or whether to leave one, is entirely yours.
Can I update my Will later?
You can update your will if your situation changes. Farewill provide an Update Service on their wills online, offering unlimited free updates for the first year, and £10 a year thereafter.
Does the charity pay for this?
Gifts in wills are vital to Nottingham Refugee Forum. We provide supporters with the opportunity to write their will for free through our partnership with Farewill. While we encourage you to consider leaving a gift, the charity covers the cost of the will. Typically, the RRP of a will is from £100.
