Leave a gift in your Will
If you’re thinking about creating or updating your Will, please consider leaving a gift to support our life changing work.
Please note, if you have been diagnosed with MND or are a carer of someone with MND please instead visit our Wills and power of attorney page to access our free legal support.
Why leave a gift?
Every year, people decide to leave MND Scotland a gift in their Will. For some, it’s a way to say thank you for the help they or a loved one received from the charity during their journey with MND. For others, it’s a defiant last stand – a way to make sure MND doesn’t have the final say, by helping future generations.
Where does my gift go?
We never take the incredible generosity of our supporters for granted. Making sure your family and friends are provided for comes first. If you decide to leave a gift in your Will, your legacy can help make time count for those still to be diagnosed and fund research for a future free from MND.
