Write your Will for free

Leaving a gift for Hope Rescue dogs in your Will is an incredibly special way to ensure your love for animals continues as your lasting legacy. Every single legacy gift, no matter the size, makes such a difference to the dogs in our care, helping them to find the happiness they deserve now, and for many years to come. 

We all want to make sure our nearest and dearest are looked after should the worst happen, including our dogs. To support this, Hope Rescue has established free will writing programme. You can write your Will for free with either Octopus Legacy or Nationwide Wills.

It’s easy to put off making a will, but it’s one of those important things we should all do. You are not obliged to leave a gift towards our work in your will but we do hope that, once you've looked after those closest to you, you may consider leaving a gift to Hope dogs. 

Why do this today? 

  • It’s quick and easy – it could take as little as 15 minutes 
  • It is FREE!* 
  • You will have peace of mind that your affairs are in order 
  • This can be done face-to-face, online or over the phone – whichever you prefer.

 *Hope Rescue have made arrangements to cover the cost of simple Wills.

Octopus Legacy:

Call 020 4525 3605 to arrange an appointment to start your Will over the phone, or click below to receive your link to start writing your will online.

Nationwide Wills  

Call 01792 000411 to arrange an appointment to start your Will over the phone or arrange a face to face meeting.

You may prefer to make your own arrangements to update an existing will or to do it via a solicitor yourself. To do this you will need the following details: 

Our name and address: Hope Rescue Centre, Cynllan Lodge, Old Llanharry Road, Llanharan, CF72 9NH 

Our charity number: Registered Charity No 1129629 (England and Wales)  

For help you find a solicitor, you can visit the Law Society website 

To speak to a member of our team in confidence about leaving a gift in your Will, please call us on 01443 226659 or you can contact us by emailing [email protected] 

Local animal lovers, Anthony and Jennifer Thorne, are proud to have included Hope Rescue in their Will and wanted to share with others why they have chosen to support their local rescue centre as their legacy.

Hope Rescue provides a safe refuge for dogs that have been abandoned, neglected or abused.  The charity relies on donations to fund the services they provide including food, clean water, shelter, veterinary care and love to the dogs in their care.  We are therefore very proud to play our part by supporting Hope Rescue through a legacy in our wills.  We want the money we leave behind to make a difference to dogs who deserve to live happy, healthy lives in their forever homes.

Legacy pledger Gary, wrote his Will last year and was surprised how simple it was, he wanted to share how easy the process was; 

I wrote my Will online with Octopus Legacy and it took about 10-15 mins, really easy and its down to the individual how complicated you want to make it

Hope Rescue are so grateful to Anthony, Jennifer and Gary for sharing their experience and thank all legacy pledgers for choosing to support in this way. 

If you have remembered Hope Rescue dogs in your will, we’d love to hear from you. Not only will this help us make plans for our future, but it also means we can thank you properly for your support. Anything you tell us will be confidential and not legally binding.
