Remember the Vegan Society in your will and help to fund our vital work promoting veganism worldwide.
"I don't need to make a Will: I've got nothing to leave."
People who say this often forget about the value of their
- mortgage protection
- life insurances
- records
- books
and their treasured belongings, which could provide comfort or a momento to family and friends in the event of their death. Even everyday cutlery has value and can be given away in a Will and you may have a favourite charity shop which could benefit.
Start by roughly estimating the value of any items on the list below and adding them up.
