Ways to give
Legacy Giving
A gift in memory or a legacy in your will is more than a donation - it’s a powerful act of love and hope. It’s a way to honour someone special or reflect the values you hold dear, while helping others in their time of need.
These lasting gifts are vital to our work. They allow us to plan ahead, reach further, and support more young people and their families when they need it most. One thoughtful act today can touch countless lives tomorrow - not just the person helped, but their loved ones, and the wider community.
By leaving a legacy, or choosing to give in memory of someone close to you, you're helping to build a future full of care, compassion, and connection.
If you'd like to talk to us about making a gift in your will or in memory of a loved one, please email fundraising@theislandyork.org.
Donating in memory of a loved one
Choosing to give in memory of a loved one is a meaningful way to honour their life while helping others in need. Every donation made in their name becomes a part of something bigger: supporting individuals, strengthening families, and building a more compassionate community for the future.
We’re here to make it as simple and supportive as possible to set up a tribute:
- Create a personalised digital donation page to honour your loved one
- Share your page easily with friends and family, wherever they are
- Add photos, stories, or messages to celebrate their life and memory
- rack donations and messages in one central place
If you're considering setting up an in memoriam donation page, or simply want to talk about the options, please get in touch we’re here to help.
Leaving a gift in your will
Leaving a gift in your will is one of the most powerful ways you can support our work and help ensure that future generations continue to benefit from the care and support we provide. After taking care of your loved ones, even a small percentage of your estate can make a life-changing difference to others.
Having a will ensures that your wishes are known and your values live on. It brings peace of mind - knowing that the people and causes you care about will be remembered and supported.
