Legacy giving

When you leave a gift in your Will, you can help transform children’s lives

At SHINE, we believe every child deserves the chance to achieve their best in school and beyond.

Inspirational teachers play a vital role in shaping futures, and we work closely with them to provide children from disadvantaged backgrounds with access to innovative programmes and resources.

One of the most powerful ways you can help create lasting change for disadvantaged children is by leaving a gift in your Will.

Your legacy can ensure that more children fulfil their potential at school, enabling them to shine later in life.

By choosing to leave a gift in your Will or make a donation in memory of a loved one, you’ll help build brighter futures for children and young people who might otherwise face significant challenges in education.

How to leave a gift to SHINE in your Will

  1. Fixed or percentage gift – You can choose to leave a fixed amount or a percentage of your estate. Many people find the percentage option flexible and manageable.
  2. Anonymous or public recognition – Whatever your preference, you can remain anonymous or allow SHINE to acknowledge your support publicly.
  3. Contact your solicitor – If you already have a Will or are planning one, speak to your solicitor and include the instruction to benefit SHINE: Support and Help IN Education. Charity number: 1082777. We’re here to help if you’d like wording suggestions or more information – contact our team anytime.

Online tribute pages

You can also raise money for SHINE in memory of a loved one through online tribute sites such as justgiving.com.

Thank you

We are so grateful for the generosity of individuals and families who choose to support SHINE as part of their legacy.

Legacy gifts often reflect the donor’s values and vision for a better future, helping to create a cycle of giving that enriches communities and strengthens the fabric of society for years to come.

It feels really good to be able to help others who haven’t had the same opportunities as we have in this way.
