Leaving a gift to charity in your will and legacy

Norwood has been supporting the Jewish community for over 200 years, and we are still here thanks to the many gifts left to Norwood by people in their wills.

While the Jewish community is known for its generosity, only 25% (one in four members) of our community leave a charitable Legacy in their Will, compared to 75% who give during their lifetime.

It’s a common misconception that only the rich and famous will leave money to a charity in their Will. This couldn’t be any further from the truth.

We believe that being able to benefit others beyond our own lifetime is a comforting one for many. By leaving a gift to Norwood, you can ensure that your support continues to improve the lives of future generations of people who need the support that only Norwood can provide.

Your generosity will be a lasting testimony that will safeguard our future

Any gift we receive is greatly welcomed. Whatever the size – be it £100 or £1 million – we will ensure that it’s put to maximum use to support the thousands of people who depend on our services every year.

David’s Story

David only found out about his mum’s upbringing shortly before she passed away, when Freda revealed she’d been raised at Norwood’s orphanage in South London. David realised that without Norwood – and the stable and caring Jewish environment it offered his mum – their future could have been very different.

He may never have met his beautiful wife or raised a wonderful family.

That’s why David has committed to leaving Norwood a gift in his Will. Without Norwood, David might not be here, so he wants to make sure we always will be.

He wants to support more families as they grow through generations, and he knows that’s what Norwood does.

You can also support people with a gift in your will.
