Leave a Lasting Legacy This Remember a Charity Week
Every September, Remember a Charity Week (8th-14thSeptember) encourages people across the UK to think about leaving a gift to a charity in their Will. It’s a powerful reminder that even after we’re gone, we can continue to make a difference to the causes closest to our hearts.
For us at NAWT, a gift in your Will isn’t just a donation – it’s a legacy of love and compassion that changes lives for years to come. By choosing to leave a legacy, you’ll help ensure that every animal who arrives at our centres in desperate need has the chance of a brighter future.
What Does Leaving a Legacy Mean?
When you leave a gift in your Will to charity, you’re making a decision that lasts far beyond a lifetime. Unlike a one-off donation, a legacy gift ensures that the work you care about continues well into the future.
For an animal charity like NAWT, this means being able to provide food, shelter, veterinary care, and rehabilitation for thousands of animals who arrive at our doors. It means being there for the animals who have nowhere else to turn.
Logan’s Story: A Legacy of Hope
Every 6.5 hours, another homeless animal arrives at one of our centres. Many, like Logan, have lived through unimaginable hardship.
Earlier this year, Logan and his brothers were rescued from a house where 75 dogs were living in squalor. Having never felt the grass beneath their paws or the kindness of a gentle hand, Logan arrived terrified, shaking, and too scared to be touched.
But with patience, kindness, and weeks of loving care, Logan slowly learned to trust again. The first time he took a piece of cheese from a carer’s hand was a breakthrough moment. Step by step, Logan grew braver, until one day, he proudly trotted out on his first ever walk.
Today, Logan is living happily in a loving home, safe and cared for – a life he never knew was possible.
This transformation was only possible thanks to the generosity of NAWT supporters. Imagine how many more animals like Logan could be given a second chance if you chose to leave a lasting legacy to NAWT.

Why Your Legacy Matters
Leaving a gift in your Will means that:
- More animals like Logan will find safety, love, and care.
- NAWT can continue to provide long-term rehabilitation for traumatised pets.
- Future generations will inherit a world where vulnerable animals are never forgotten.
Even a small percentage of your estate can make a huge difference. After taking care of your loved ones, a legacy gift can ensure your compassion for pets continues for years to come.
