“Two things have given me a much better life than my mother had.

Firstly, the establishment of the welfare state, which gave my family a council house and myself a first-class education for free.

Secondly, the women’s movement, which meant I was able to have a fulfilling career with equal pay, equal esteem with men, and the legal protections to ensure I could lead a safe and independent life.

I want these same things for every woman on this earth.

That is why I began to support Womankind Worldwide in their pioneering work and why I am leaving them a bequest in my will. I have asked my daughter to continue my support when I am gone.


This work must go on.”
— Mary, one of our valued legacy pledgers. 

We are truly humbled that Mary placed this trust in us. By remembering Womankind in her will, Mary is pledging towards a just world where the rights of all women are respected, valued, and realised. 

As Free Wills Month draws to a close, we wanted to remind you once more about the option of leaving a gift in your will to Womankind, once your family and loved ones have been taken care of.

 

  • If you don’t have a will - You can make one online for free with the solicitor approved online will-writing service Farewill. Read more here.
    Consistently voted the UK’s best-rated will-writing experts on Trustpilot, Farewill can guide you through the will-writing process in as little as 15 minutes. Every will is proofread and approved by a specialist, and once signed and witnessed, it will be legally binding.
 

In just one generation, women have achieved many milestones for their rights. But there is still work to be done. With a gift in your will, you can stand alongside women and girls in the generations to come.

No matter how small or large, your gift has the power to shape a woman’s future.

With best wishes
