Your legacy could change the future for people living with brain injury đź’™
October is Free Wills Month – a chance for people aged 55 and over to have a simple Will written or updated free of charge through participating solicitors. Appointments are limited, so if you’ve been meaning to make or update your Will, now is a great time to take that step.
Once you’ve taken care of the people and causes that matter most to you, you could also choose to leave a gift to Headway Sussex.
A gift in your Will could help us continue providing vital support, advice, Â friendship and services to people living with acquired brain injury, as well as their families and carers, across Sussex. Your legacy could help shape the future of Headway Sussex and make a lasting difference to thousands of people in the years to come.
Please make sure you name us correctly
If you choose to leave a gift to us, it is really important that your Will specifically names:
Headway Sussex – Registered Charity No. 1084715
Please do not simply write “Headway”. Although we are part of the wider Headway network, Headway Sussex is an independent local charity and we are not funded by Headway UK. Naming “Headway” alone could mean your gift is directed to Headway UK rather than Headway Sussex.

If you are considering leaving a gift to Headway Sussex in your Will and would like to talk to us about it, please get in touch with our team on 01825 724323 or email info@headwaysussex.org.uk.
Your Will is your choice, and there is absolutely no obligation to leave a gift to us. But if you do choose Headway Sussex, your legacy could help ensure that people affected by brain injury across Sussex can continue to access the support they need for years to come.
Thank you for helping us build a future where no one has to face brain injury alone. đź’™
