Remember WPF Therapy in your will

The support of individuals is vital to the continuing work of WPF Therapy. Our supporters are often people whose lives, or those of their friends or family, have been touched by WPF Therapy.

Some are former clients for whom we were a safe place to talk when they needed it most. They know just how important our work is and, by remembering us in their will, help to ensure that we are there for others in the future.

We also receive gifts from people who have seen the impact that our services have had on individuals and communities around them, or may have previously received professional training from us.

With the help of legacies we can continue to
• See around 500 people a week at our central London clinic – many of whom would otherwise be unable to afford or find high quality counselling and psychotherapy
• Train the counsellors and psychotherapists of the future
• Work with community organisations working with vulnerable groups
• Develop and grow a network of counselling and psychotherapy centres across the UK providing affordable counselling for those who need it most

Leaving a gift to WPF in your will

Leaving a legacy to WPF Therapy is not complicated, but it does need to be included in a professionally made will.
If you have already made a will, but would like to add a gift to WPF Therapy, you can do so by making a simple addition or codicil. A codicil will enable you to include new instructions and delete old ones without rewriting the whole will.
If you do not have a will at the moment, you may need to see a solicitor. Although you may have to pay a fee, you will receive sound professional advice.

There are two main ways of giving to WPF Therapy in your will
•  Pecuniary gift - giving a gift of a fixed amount of money
•  Residuary gift - choosing to leave a share, or the whole, of what is left in your estate after your other legacies and any outstanding costs have been dealt with.

Whatever you can give will, of course, be free of Inheritance Tax.
When somebody is distressed, anxious or depressed it can be difficult to manage day to day life, work and relationships. Seeing a way forward can seem like an impossible task. By working with people to help them explore and understand their feelings and what lies behind them, WPF Therapy can enable somebody to develop their own choices and way forward.
