September is My Legacy Month, and NOVAS is asking people to consider including a gift in their Will to help the post vulnerable people in their community.The big message that My Legacy want people to remember is that including a gift in your Will is a practical step we can all take to make real change for the future. Making your Will is one of the most important, practical things that a person can do in their lifetime and it’s a simple action that many put off.
There is great peace of mind to be had from making or updating your Will and by also including a gift for a charity like NOVAS, no matter the size, you will contribute to a more sustainable future for Irish charities and the people and places they want to continue to care for.
For more than 20 years, NOVAS has been dedicated to helping people in Ireland, addressing the needs of people experiencing homelessness, housing insecurity, addiction, and social marginalisation through a comprehensive approach that includes Housing, Health, and Recovery. All NOVAS efforts are underpinned by a commitment to equality, diversity, and dignity, ensuring clients’ needs are met with respect and compassion.
Any gift to NOVAS in your Will, large or small, will make a huge difference to people affected by homelessness in the future. Once family and friends have been looked after and all other important personal decisions have been made, deciding to include a gift in your Will to NOVAS is a very special way to continue to support a cause that matters to you into the future.
It is usually a much more straightforward and cost effective process than you might think; it will only take about an hour or so of your time and can be done in three simple steps. Your solicitor can advise you on what information is needed to draw up this very important personal document.
Imagine the positive impact we can all make on our future communities by this simple action of including a gift for an important cause in our Will!
