AN IMPACT %%FAR BEYOND%% A LIFETIME
Every year, thousands of people go missing in London. Those we search for face the highest risk to life - those living with dementia, children, people facing mental health crises and those at the point of making plans to take their life.
A gift in your will can help ensure that no one is left missing without someone to search. After looking after your loved ones, this is a powerful way to bring hope to others - to help save lives, long into the future.
YOUR %%GIFT%% MIGHT BE THEIR TOMORROW
With your support, our highly trained volunteers can respond to emergencies across London - day or night, rain or shine.
A gift in your Will costs nothing today, but it means that tomorrow, we’ll be there: searching for those most at risk, supporting the emergency services, and helping families through their darkest hours.
Even a small gift can help fund vital equipment, training, and search operations. It’s a way to be remembered for doing something extraordinary - something life-changing.
“It gives me %%peace%% to know that, after looking after my family, I can still help someone I’ll never meet. That kind of kindness lasts.”
A QUIET BUT %%POWERFUL%% GIFT
More and more people are choosing to make a lasting difference by including a gift in their Will. It’s a simple act of kindness that lives on - helping protect the most vulnerable, even long after we’re gone.

%%WHAT%% A GIFT IN A WILL CAN LOOK LIKE
Including a gift in your Will is simple. Whether you're making a Will for the first time or updating an existing one, all you need are a few key details - and the intention to support the causes you care about. There are three simple ways to give, you can chose to leave:
A specific sum of money
This is a specific amount you decide to leave to charity in your Will - no matter the size, it makes a huge difference to the charity receiving it. This is known as a pecuniary gift.
a share of your overall estate
After your loved ones are taken care of, you might choose to leave a percentage of what’s left to a cause you care about. This is known as a residuary gift.
a particular item of your choice
This could be anything from property or shares to valuable items - gifted with purpose and used to support our life-saving work. This is called a specific gift.
