Amnesty International – Make a Will Month

We are very pleased to announce that Lisa’s Law Solicitors will be taking part in Amnesty International’s Make a Will Month campaign for 2020.

This wonderful initiative runs throughout March and will help raise vital funds for an excellent cause and is open to anyone who requires a simple will.  We also offer free storage of your will when you take part in the scheme.

As one of the largest organisations worldwide standing up for justice and helping the most vulnerable in their time of need, Amnesty International is a worthwhile charity to support.

How are we getting involved?

We will be offering a free will writing service throughout March, giving people certainty and peace of mind that their estate is handled exactly as they intend it to be.

How does this help Amnesty International?

This may come as a surprise, but 16% of Amnesty International’s funds comes from gifts left in peoples wills. That is a really huge portion!

With this in mind, people who take part in the free will service throughout March will asked to leave a donation, big or small, in their will to Amnesty. A small donation goes such a long way to help them achieve their goals the world over.

So, everyone is a winner! Participants get a free simple will drafted by one of our expert solicitors and at the same time Amnesty receive some essential aid to help keep them continue with their vital work.

What your gift could do:

• With your help just 1% of a £50,000 estate could help cover the cost of Amnesty International’s school speakers’ programme, teaching 27,000 young people about human rights and inspiring the next generation of human rights defenders.
• A legacy from you of £5,000 could pay for media fellowships in developing countries for four journalists, enabling them to report and raise awareness of human rights violations.
• Leaving Amnesty International UK 10% of a £300,000 estate could enable them to conduct two human rights investigations in crisis countries with security equipment, satellite imagery and forensic support.
