Leaving a Legacy to Trauma Research UK
Support Future Generations
A Future Where No One Feels Broken
At Trauma Research UK, our mission is to change the narrative around mental health, moving away from labels and toward a deep, compassionate understanding of what has happened to us. We believe that with the right support, everyone has the capacity to heal.
By choosing to leave a gift to Trauma Research UK in your Will, you are doing something truly extraordinary. You are ensuring that future generations will always have a place to turn for gentle guidance, research-led mentoring, and a supportive community that understands.
Why Your Legacy Matters
For many, our support is a lifeline. A legacy gift, no matter the size, helps us remain a constant source of strength for those facing their darkest moments. It allows us to:
- Expand our Help Hubs into more communities.
- Train more volunteer mentors to provide our life-changing programmes.
- Continue our research into trauma-informed recovery that actually works.
A Human Approach to Giving
We understand that your priority is your loved ones. Once they are looked after, choosing to support a cause you believe in is a beautiful way to reflect your values and the compassion you feel for others.
Your legacy isn’t just about money; it’s about continuity. It’s about making sure that the tools for emotional freedom and the “not broken” philosophy are available for years to come.

A solicitor can help you draft or update your will to include Trauma Research UK and ensure your wishes are legally protected.

- A specific item – This could be property, shares, or other valuables.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my will later?
Yes, you can update your will at any time. Your solicitor can help you make changes.
Will my family still be looked after?
Absolutely. Many people choose to leave a percentage of their estate rather than a fixed sum, ensuring loved ones are provided for first.
What if I’ve already written my will?
You can add a simple amendment (codicil) to include Trauma Research UK without rewriting your entire will. Your solicitor can advise on this.
Can I remain anonymous if I leave a gift in my will?
Yes. You are not required to inform us of your decision, but if you do, we would love the opportunity to thank you and keep you updated on our work.
Will my legacy gift go directly to supporting your work?
Yes. Trauma Research UK is a volunteer-led charity, meaning we don’t have paid staff. This ensures that every donation, including gifts left in wills, goes directly to life-changing support, research, and community outreach helping those who need it most.
