Free and discounted Will writing services
We're grateful for any gift – large or small.
Your generous support means that we’re able to protect children today, prevent abuse tomorrow and transform society to make child abuse a thing of the past.
We always recommend using a solicitor or legal professional if you're thinking of writing or amending your will. But we can help with any questions you have about leaving a gift to the NSPCC. We can:
- discuss how you might like your gift to be spent
- arrange a visit to a local project so you can see the difference your legacy will make
- explain the different types of legacy gifts and their benefits
- talk you through our will writing offers
- help you find a solicitor.
Call us on 020 7825 2505 or email legacyinfo@nspcc.org.uk.

Advice and support with writing your will
Writing your will and making decisions about your estate can feel difficult - and it can help to think things through before you contact your solicitor or Will writing service.
Our five steps can help you think about what you'd like to achieve with your will before you meet with someone.
Writing your will for the first time may feel like a daunting task but it doesn't have to be. It can help to first think about what you own, who you want to remember, and what’s important to you after you’re gone.
- Work out the value of your estate
Think about everything you own, minus anything you owe. This could be property, savings or digital assets. You might find our list of assets helpful to work out the value of your estate. - Choose how you would like to leave your estate
Make a list of the people and charities you want to benefit from your estate. - If you have dependent children and/or pets, choose guardians
Think about who you would choose to be their legal guardian. - Choose your executors
Think about who is going to manage your estate and carry out your wishes. They would be your executor. - Make notes of any questions
It’s good to have them all in one place, to talk through with your solicitor or will writer.
If you have already made a will and wish to add The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) as a beneficiary, you can do it by downloading and completing our codicil form.
