Legacy giving
Leaving a gift in your Will is a great way of supporting Marmalade Trust. Your gift would help us continue our important work in raising awareness of loneliness and supporting the loneliest people in our region to feel connected and valued. Gifts made to charity are exempt from inheritance tax.
There are three different types of gifts you can make in your Will:
​
-
Pecuniary Gift - a pecuniary gift is a fixed sum of money i.e £1,000.00
-
Specific Gift - a specific gift is a gift of a specific valuable asset such as jewellery, shares, property or antiques.
-
Residuary Gift – a share of your residuary estate. Your residuary estate is your estate after the payment of liabilities, specific gifts, pecuniary legacies and testamentary expenses. This could be expressed as a percentage or a fraction of your estate, i.e. 1/3 of your estate or 10% of your estate.​
When writing your Will we would recommend you speak to a solicitor to ensure your wishes are met. If you decide to leave a gift to Marmalade Trust in your Will, you will need our name, address and registered charity number: Registered Address: The Marmalade Trust, Burton Sweet, The Clock Tower, Old Weston Road, Flax Bourton, Bristol, BS48 1UR. Registered Charity Number: 1174217

Spread the word on social media
Loneliness is a natural human emotion and we need to remove the stigma and shame surrounding it. It's something we experience, not something that defines us. The good news is that we can all play a part in raising awareness of loneliness, and the more we do, the easier it will be for everyone to talk about it.

I experienced severe loneliness when I moved from Mexico City to Paris with my work. I also felt like my memory was getting worse and would almost describe it as feeling a bit drunk. This changed though when I started to do exercise classes. I found a CrossFit gym which I loved and there was such a great community at the gym. Everyone was so friendly and I made friends there. Doing exercise every morning before work also shifted my mindset about the whole city... after that I started to love the city & realised people are a lot friendlier if you smile first.'

"When moving to Bristol - I did not know anyone - and that was a really lonely place to be. I was really lucky to find Bristol Girl and the City Girl Network - their mission is to help women, non-binary and trans femmes feel more connected to their local communities. I started to volunteer as an Event Coordinator & Admin and this really helped me feel connected to my city and also feel a sense of purpose, growing my confidence to broaden my horizons to find friends outside of the network too. What is even more exciting now is that I am the first employee of the City Girl Network - so reaching out at one of my lowest, loneliness points in my life was honestly, one of the best decisions I ever made."
