Trusts
We are very grateful for the generosity of many charitable trusts and foundations which support our work. Gifts from trusts are a crucial source of income for Oakleaf; being a small charity, every grant makes a genuine difference to our clients. It is especially encouraging to receive support over many years.
Whether it’s a small gift from a family trust or a major grant from a national funder, your support will be put to the very best use, through core funding or specific projects, to help adults managing their mental ill-health to turn their lives around.
We always offer a warm welcome for Trustees wishing to visit Oakleaf and to see our work first-hand. We are happy to recognise support or to keep it confidential, to offer regular updates and impact reports, and to enable Trustees to meet with members of Oakleaf’s Board to find out more about our current work and future aspirations.
If you are connected to a trust and would like to know more about our work or to visit us, we would love to speak with you.
If you know someone who is on the board of a trust which may be able to help us, please do contact us so that we can find out how we might work with them.

Legacies
Leaving a gift to Oakleaf in your will can help us to continue to provide our vital support to local people, now and in the future.
Please consider provision for your family and friends first – but if you can also leave a donation to Oakleaf, your gift will support clients experiencing mental ill-health, for generations to come.
Please contact your solicitor or a professional will writer to make or update your will. These can be found through the Law Society’s website or the Institute of Professional Will Writers. You only need to say that you are leaving a gift to Oakleaf and include our registered charity number 1064524.
Gifts in a will (legacies) are generally free from Inheritance Tax and could therefore reduce the liability for your loved ones as well as helping Oakleaf.
There are different kinds of legacies you may consider:
• A Residuary Gift – a percentage of your remaining estate once all the expenses, liabilities and other specific gifts have been paid. This gift is the most beneficial as it keeps its value better than a set amount.
• Pecuniary Gift – a specific amount of money.
• Specific – a specific item for example, jewellery or antiques.
