Leave a Legacy That Lasts a Lifetime

Leaving a legacy in your will is one of the most powerful ways to ensure our vital work can continue. Ups and Downs Southwest is a dedicated Down Syndrome support charity, and much of our work is funded by donations. No matter the size, a gift in your will can help us be there for future generations of children and young people with Down Syndrome and their families.

For many families we support, planning for the future is particularly important. Parents and carers of children with Down Syndrome often need to think more carefully about the long term, knowing their loved one may require additional support and security after they are gone.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Free Wills—to make it as straightforward as possible for families to put plans in place and ensure their wishes are known and respected.

By making a will, you can ensure that the people and causes you care about are provided for. Once you’ve taken care of your loved ones, remembering Ups and Downs Southwest in your will means that we can continue to provide essential emotional, social and educational support for children and young people with Down Syndrome, both now and in the future.

Every gift makes a real and lasting difference. It costs nothing during your lifetime, is simple to arrange, and is exempt from inheritance tax. We are so grateful for any gift you choose to leave—no matter how small or large, it is truly a gift of a lifetime.

Thank you for considering supporting Ups and Downs Southwest in this special and meaningful way.
