  1. Ways to give
  2. Leave a legacy

Leave a legacy

Since 1980, people just like you have helped us provide care and support to people living with learning disabilities and autism. We’ve made huge strides in the last 40 years, providing pioneering person-centred care across Scotland, but there’s still lots to be done. By leaving a gift in your will you’ll be ensuring we can continue to be there for people living with disabilities for years to come.

We’ve made a guide to help you through the process of leaving a will from start to finish. It’s a big decision about your life, and we want to help you make the right decision for you. That’s why you can find out more about what we currently do, and the impact your gift could have in our legacy guide.

If you’d like to discuss leaving a gift to a specific project or service, then please get in touch with the fundraising team at [email protected] or call us on 0300 131 3333.

How do I leave a gift in my will?

There are several different types of gifts you can leave, such as a percentage of your estate or a set amount. Our legacy guide can help you understand those options and how to include them in your will so you can make an informed decision. When making or updating your will, you just need to let your solicitor know your plans.

Are you the executor for an estate?

If you are an executor for an estate that has left a gift to Cornerstone then please get in touch with our team for support at [email protected] or call us on 0300 131 3333.
