Leave a gift in your Will

A gift for generations

Each year, over half of our donated income comes from generous individuals who kindly leave a gift to Age Scotland in their Will. This is known as a legacy.

Legacies directly support our work, helping Age Scotland to improve the lives of all people over the age of 50 in Scotland.

Our free helpline, support for older people’s groups, promotion of age-friendly and dementia-friendly communities, delivery of wellbeing programmes, and campaigns on behalf of older people all contribute towards positive long-term outcomes for older people across Scotland.

How your legacy will help

Legacies are essential in enabling us to plan for the future. They ensure we’re there to support older people through later life, ensuring they receive the care, advice, and friendship they need.

Every gift, no matter the size, is spent delivering essential services in Scotland. Whether it’s funding our Helpline, supporting local community groups, or expanding our health and wellbeing programmes, your generosity ensures that Age Scotland can continue to be there for Scotland’s older people for generations to come.

Leaving a gift

Your legacy can help us tackle loneliness and isolation through services like our Friendship Line and our work with local community groups that bring older people together. Your support could also help us provide more health and wellbeing programmes or deliver extra training to support those living with dementia and their families.

All gifts left to Age Scotland in Wills will be spent delivering our services in Scotland.
