Not sure where to start with writing a Will? We understand it can feel daunting, but don’t worry, we have you covered with everything you need to make a Will, including a free Will writing service, and our friendly team is on hand to help should you need anything. 

What is a Will? 

Writing a legally valid Will involves listing your assets and choosing your beneficiaries (a person, organisation, or entity chosen to receive money, property, or other assets) and signing it in front of two witnesses to make it legally binding. It ensures that your wishes are followed when it comes to distributing your assets. Anyone can write a will if you’re over the age of 18, and you can update your will at any time. 

Whether you want to provide for your loved ones or leave a gift to charity, a clear and legally binding Will is essential. 

Rainbows is proud to have partnered with Farewill to offer you a way to write your Will for free. It’s easy to use, and you can write your Will from the comfort of your own home. 

Here’s why it’s easy and convenient: 

  • Quick – your will can be done in as little as 15 minutes. 
  • Free – no cost to write your will 
  • Secure – Wills are legally bound and reviewed by experts 
  • Peace of mind – ensures that your assets are in order and distributed to your loved ones by your choice 

So, how do you get started? 

Follow these three simple steps to write your Will with Farewill.

  • Answer some simple questions – they’ll ask questions such as whether you have a partner, children, and what your assets are, such as whether you own a home 
  • Review and finalise – a specialist checks to make sure your wishes are clear – and it only takes up to 5 days. 
  • Print and sign your will – After writing a will and getting it checked by the team of specialists, you need to print and sign it in front of two witnesses to make it legally binding. Download your will to print at home, or Farewill can print it for you. 

This offer is currently available for Rainbows supporters who live in England and Wales and there is no obligation to leave a gift to Rainbows if you make use of it. 

Leaving a Gift in your Will 

If you would like to, you can leave a Gift in your Will to Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People. To include this in your Will, you will need to provide: 

Charity name: Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People (Registered Charity Name: Cope Children’s Trust)

Address: Lark Rise, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 2HS 

Registered charity number: 1014051 

These gifts are invaluable and ensure continued care and support for the families who need us. 

Why your Gifts in wills are important to us: 

As a charity, we only receive 15% of government funding a year and need to raise £9 million to cover our care costs. That’s why we rely on the generosity of our supporters to help us continue providing our services. A Gift in your Will helps ensure we can continue to be there for babies, children and young people with a life-shortening condition across the East Midlands when they need us most. Supporting them and their families during their most difficult moments.
