Leave a Gift
Leave a Gift in your Will to CHAT
A gift in your Will (a legacy) is more than a financial donation – it is a lasting act of kindness that will continue bringing hope to people long into the future. Your legacy could help someone find a safe home, put food on a family's table, or provide support at a time when it is needed most. Please take a moment to read more about how you can help us.
Your legacy can make a huge difference to our work
In Tiverton, a mum of two was days away from eviction. In Crediton, an elderly man hadn't eaten a hot meal in weeks. In Cullompton, a young person had nowhere safe to sleep.
CHAT was there for all of them.
For 30 years, CHAT has been the lifeline for people across Mid Devon facing homelessness, hunger and financial crisis. A gift in your will can help ensure we're still here for the next family who needs us.
Why leave a gift to CHAT?
Every week, people across Mid Devon knock on our door not knowing where else to turn. They're facing eviction. They can't afford to eat. They're terrified of what comes next.
Last year, with your support, CHAT:
-
Provided 2,533 advice sessions to people in housing crisis.
-
Helped 225 people stay in their homes who would otherwise have faced homelessness.
-
Gave 2,462 people access to emergency food and essentials.
-
Managed over £3.1 million of debt on behalf of struggling families.
Legacy gifts make this possible. They allow us to plan ahead, invest in our services, and promise the people of Mid Devon that help will always be here.
What could your gift do?
Even a small percentage of your estate could transform lives:
-
£500 could fund a full advice session, helping someone keep their home.
-
£1,000 could provide emergency food parcels for 50 families.
-
£5,000 could train a new volunteer advisor, creating years of support.
Any amount helps us plan for the future and be ready when the next person in crisis reaches out.
Join CHAT's Legacy of Hope
Supporters who choose to leave a gift in their will become part of CHAT’s Legacy of Hope[SL1] helping to ensure that vital support remains available for people across Mid Devon in the years to come.
Legacy gifts are a powerful way to make a lasting difference in the community. By remembering CHAT in your will, you can help ensure that future generations will always have somewhere to turn when they need help.
Your legacy says: "I was here. I cared. And because of me, help will always be available."
If you choose to tell us about your gift, we'd be honoured to include your name in our Legacy of Hope Book, recognising your commitment to helping people across Mid Devon for years to come.
[SL1]what exactly will this be? An online list of donors? It's not really clear - and as people like to be acknowledged you could have something permanent. Perhaps a bound book noting every legacy? Or an annual 'Legacy of Hope' event where people's names are read out?
