This will avoid any confusion with other Crossroads Schemes and ensure that Carers and the person for whom they care in East Sussex, Brighton and Hove, benefit.

In general, a gift of a percentage of your estate (what solicitors call a ‘residuary gift’) will make the biggest difference because it will keep its value better than a gift of a fixed sum of money. It’s an easy way to provide for the causes that are important to you after family and friends have been looked after.
