Leave a lasting gift to help people experiencing loneliness
Your kindness today could help someone feel less alone tomorrow
Loneliness can affect anyone, at any stage of life. It can have a profound impact on our wellbeing, yet it is often hidden. At Marmalade Trust, we believe everyone deserves meaningful connection.
Whether you are thinking about the future or remembering someone special, we know these can be deeply personal decisions.
Your kindness can help us continue our work to make loneliness understood, acknowledged and actively addressed.

Leave a gift in your Will
Your Will is a chance to look after the people and causes that matter most to you.
By leaving a gift to Marmalade Trust, you could help us reach more people experiencing loneliness, raise awareness of the issues surrounding isolation, reduce stigma and create opportunities for people to connect with others in their communities.
Whether your gift is large or small, it can make a lasting difference.
Why Marmalade Trust?
A gift in your Will could support work such as:
-
Helping people understand loneliness and its impact and recognise when they or someone they know may need support.
-
Supporting our projects which create opportunities for people to meet, connect and build meaningful relationships, not only at difficult times such as Christmas but all year round.
-
Supporting Loneliness Awareness Week, our UK and global campaign which has helped communities become more connected and inclusive, as well as raising awareness of loneliness and encouraging conversations that reduce stigma.
-
Supporting our work to make sure loneliness is taken seriously as an important social issue, both within our communities and at Government level.
How to leave a gift in your Will
Leaving a gift to Marmalade Trust is straightforward. There are several ways you can choose to support our work through your Will.
A pecuniary gift
A pecuniary gift is a fixed sum of money that you choose to leave to Marmalade Trust, for example £1,000.
A specific gift
A specific gift is a particular valuable asset, such as jewellery, shares, property or antiques, that you choose to leave in your Will.
A residuary gift
A residuary gift is a share of what remains of your estate after other commitments have been paid. This can be left as a percentage or fraction, for example 10% or one third.
For advice when making or updating your Will, Marmalade Trust has teamed up with the National Free Wills Network.
Alternatively, please speak to a qualified professional when making or changing your Will.
Suggested wording and charity details
We’ve prepared a guide with Marmalade Trust’s registered details and suggested wording you can take to your solicitor if you would like to leave a pecuniary, specific or residuary gift in your Will.

Give in Memory
When someone we love dies, finding a meaningful way to remember them can bring comfort and help their memory live on.
A gift to Marmalade Trust in memory of someone special can turn a moment of loss into a lasting act of kindness, helping us create a world where no one has to face loneliness alone.
We understand that everyone remembers and grieves differently. There is no right or wrong way to give in memory.
Whether you make a small personal donation or invite others to contribute, your kindness can help create connection for someone else.
Your gift is a lasting tribute to someone who mattered to you.

Set up a collection
If you are arranging a funeral or memorial service, you may wish to invite family and friends to make donations in memory of someone special, instead of or alongside giving flowers.
You can donate directly to Marmalade Trust through our JustGiving page, create your own memorial page through MuchLoved or JustGiving, or contact us if you would like any guidance.
