This Autumn we’ve joined Octopus Legacy in its new ‘Change starts with a will’ campaign.
Spanning September and October, the campaign encourages people to write a will, or consider whether their current one needs updating. Samantha Sherratt, our Transformation Director, explains why this campaign is so important:
“It’s concerning to hear that only four in ten adults in the UK have a will. Yet most people would benefit from one. Whether you’re a billionaire or don’t have a penny to your name, having a will saves time, money and stress for the people you leave behind”.
Dying without a will costs £9,700 on average. So it makes sense to save the people you love money by creating a plan ahead of time. When someone dies without a will – it means more paperwork, time and stress for your loved ones when they need it the least.
So we’re making it easy. We’ve partnered with experts, Octopus Legacy, so you can write or update your will for free*. The cost of your will is covered by us up to £150 – so you can write or update a simple will for free or get a will with trust at a discounted rate.
While many supporters choose to include a gift in their will to the Urostomy Association, there’s no obligation to do so when using this service.
