When making your Will, we understand that your loved ones will always come first. Many people find that, after providing for family and friends, they can also leave a gift to a cause or charity they care about.
Leaving a gift to The Archie Foundation in your Will is one of the most valuable and lasting ways you can support local babies, children and families. Every gift, no matter its size, will help Archie continue making the difference for generations to come.
Our Gifts in Wills Guide explains the difference your gift could make, the different ways you can remember Archie in your Will, and the practical steps involved. We’ve also answered some frequently asked questions at the bottom of this page.
If you would prefer to receive a printed copy by post, please contact us at [email protected] and we will be happy to send one to you.

You can also choose to leave your gift unrestricted, allowing us to direct it wherever the need is greatest at the time.
