How a gift in your will can help children

Much of the NSPCC's work is made possible thanks to supporters who kindly remember us in their wills

In fact, the NSPCC relies on these gifts for around one sixth of our income each year.

Since the NSPCC was founded in 1884, we have achieved a huge amount for children, protecting millions from cruelty, abuse and neglect.

Sadly though, despite today's society being radically different to that of in the nineteenth century, the emergence of new and different social pressures means that our work remains crucial. And with new technologies constantly emerging, new threats to children's safety continue to appear.

After you have taken care of your loved ones, a gift in your will could help to ensure that we can continue to be there for vulnerable children in the future.

We may not know exactly what the future holds, but we do know that the NSPCC will need to be there to protect children from tomorrow's challenges, whatever these may be.
