Give Through a Will

700 Club Legacy

If you’re considering writing or updating your will, leaving a legacy is a very special and enduring way to support 700 Club. It is also straightforward and inexpensive to do.

With a legacy you can leave something behind that will have a lasting impact on those who follow after you and build on what you’ve valued of the 700 Club’s work. Whether it’s our work in the Lodge or with those with drug and alcohol problems, with a legacy you can make sure that the most vulnerable people in our town are not forgotten.

If you would like to speak to someone at the 700 Club about this, please contact us on 01325 366397.
