Hi Is anyone out there promoting the benefits of writing a will to their staff? Or giving staff access to a free will writing service? I'm very new to the...
Dear Nancy I'm organizing a Free Will Writing week for our supporters, (donation given to our charity) and will advertise internally too. Then it is up to the...
Hi Nancy, Entirely serendipitously I've just come out of briefing with our young brand team 80% of whom don't have a will at all - so I sent them a link to a...
Is there any such thing as free will? How exactly would it work? What if someone from your staff went to have their 'free' will written (probably a basic,...
As far as I know, if the charity is promoting a free will scheme to staff, as opposed to pointing individual colleagues who ask, in the direction of quick and...
Yes, there is such a thing as a free Will now that meets all the IoF standards too. Thanks to Jonathan Parris’ determination, www.totallyfreewills.co.uk...
Thank you for your feedback. So not a huge amount going on with an internal focus except for you Richard. It would be interesting to know how many of your...
I still feel that free wills are of secondary inportance NOT primary. Lets remember that a huge majority of the BEST prospects have ALL written wills and...
Not for the first time - Mr Radcliffe is talking sense. The totally free wills service (and other free will schemes) are undoubtedly useful and clever tools,...
Save the Children is the word's independent children's charity. Join us and bring your fundraising (legacy / community / marketing) or business to business...
As ever you are completely right Richard ;0) I was merely answering the question about whether there really can be free Wills and the fact is, there now is. ...
Hi Graham Would you like to join me as a guest on UK Fundraising's table at the IoF Awards on 6 July? Let me know. If so, do you have any dietary requirements?...
Oh dear. Sorry about that. Not intended for the list, as you can imagine. ... Howard Lake MInstF Fundraising UK Ltd 17 Errington Road, Colchester, Essex...
Coming in late to this discussion, as I have been away all last week, I just wanted to add that we run a scheme at the Brooke for staff every couple of years...

Couldn't agree more! But it is a good idea to encourage staff to write a Will and encourage them to leave a legacy to charity (any charity, not particularly...

i am quite uncomfortable with employers who try to influence my personal and private choices. its almost like - will you work for british airways for free for...
I think having an option for staff to make or change their Will at a reduced rate or free is a good idea as long as no pressure is applied to include the...
Does anyone have any statistics on the number of legacy pledges received against number of prospects mailed during a direct mail campaign? Last autumn I sent a...
Hi Lorna, In my experience there are a number of variables which will determine your response from the creative treatment you gave to the ask you made to the...

Hi Lorna  i wonder was this simply a legacy ask or were there other things in the DM? I understand that if a legacy ask / awareness campaign is included...
There are so many issues here. SO MANY people want to give but do not want to tell you so few responses CAN be good. We are testing with a number of charities...
Hi Lorna All I'd add to what others have said is that well over three quarters of our legacies come from people who have not pledged. Also, some pledges fail...
Afternoon all, to add to the debate into pledging or not! It is my view that a pledge should be seen as someone's decision to inform you of having included a ...
