Leave a Legacy

After you have provided for your loved ones, we hope you will consider adding a gift in your Will to us to continue our vital work. Every year mental ill-health affects more people than cancer, yet research into mental health problems receives a small fraction of the funds. Facts alone are only part of the story. We are passionate and determined to pursue our vision – we want good mental health for all. Our research will help answer the vital questions about what causes mental health problems and how to tackle them. With prevention at the heart of what we do, we provide resources, information, and advice to enable people to live mentally healthy lives.

Make a Will through Farewill.

Our work is life-changing and lifesaving, and we are committed to it. Our work cannot, and will not, stop until we realise our vision of a world with good mental health for all. So, after you have provided for your loved ones, we hope you will consider adding a gift in your Will to us. We really depend on these special gifts to continue our work for a mentally healthy society for all.

What are the options?

Every kind of gift is hugely appreciated. You don’t need to leave a large amount – a gift in your will, will have a big effect on our work. Many people choose to leave a residuary gift (a share of an estate) as it usually maintains or increases value over time, but every single gift is welcome. You have our assurance that your gift will be administered professionally and sensitively. It's important to remember that every gift from a will that we receive is free from inheritance tax.

How should I word my Will?

Including a gift to Ewen’s Room in your Will is straightforward. All you have to do is give your solicitor or will writing firm our registered address and charity numbers:

Ewen’s Room c/o Voluntary Action Lochaber, An Drochaid, Claggan Road, Fort William, PH33 6PH & Scottish Registered Charity No. SC048248.

How do I amend an existing Will?

Have you already made a Will? You can add Ewen’s Room to your Will by completing a codicil. This document changes or is used when additions are made to an existing Will and must be read in conjunction. We always recommend you contact a solicitor if you wish to draw up a codicil.

We have further information about how to leave a gift in your Will, which we would be delighted to provide you with. If you would like this information or have any questions about leaving a gift in your will for Ewen’s Room, please contact us at info@ewensroom.com.

Whatever you decide, thank you so much for taking the time to consider adding Ewen’s Room to your Will.

Giving in Memory

Dedicate your gift in memory of a loved one. Giving us a gift in memory of a loved one is a positive way to celebrate their life, helping us achieve good mental health for all now and in the future. You can make a significant difference by supporting us in the following ways. Make a single or regular donation. You will have the opportunity to tell us that your gift is in memory of a loved one, and we will contact you if you would like to share more details about who you remember with your gift. There is no obligation to tell us more.

Celebration Giving

On your special day, you could choose to contribute to our vital research, preventing future mental health problems from occurring and challenging the stigma associated with mental health. Celebrate your wedding by supporting good mental health for all.

Celebrate your special day and know donations from your wedding are contributing to:

Mental health research into what protects mental health as well as the causes of poor mental health and how to tackle them.
Programmes to test and evaluate the best approaches to improve mental health in communities across Lochaber and the adjacent Western Highlands, and then roll them out as widely as possible.
Policy and advocacy work, calling on national and local governments to change and address the causes of poor mental health and enhance things known to protect it.
Public engagement work offers people evidence-based, free information to help them look after their own and their loved one's mental health.

Instead of asking for wedding gifts for your big day, why not ask your guests to make a donation to Ewen's Room?

Philanthropy & Major Gifts

With your help, we can work to ensure that ours and the next generation are empowered with resilience and understanding to maintain good mental health. Our vision is for a world with good mental health for all. Our mission is to help people to thrive by understanding, protecting, and sustaining their mental health.

To affect real change in mental health policy and research, we need long-term investment to ensure we can find the interventions and prevention strategies that work. This work is delivered thanks to the backing of our supporters.

Our ambition is to be more than a charity. If we are to achieve good mental health for all, Ewen's Room needs to connect to a wider movement. A movement of people who know the importance of mental health through their own experience and the experience of others.

You can pledge your support by annual contribution. We ask that supporters give a suggested annual gift of £5,000, which will be allocated to a programme on your behalf.

Fully fund a programme, service, or resource. Some programmes or services require significant funding. With your help, we can get them off the ground.

Join us and help create a world with better mental health for all. With your help we can pioneer innovative, co-produced programmes informed by the people we are hoping to help. This is all to ensure that ours and the next generation are empowered with resilience and understanding to maintain good mental health. We must invest time, money and expertise.
