Leave a Gift in Your Will
Leaving a gift to SSJ in your will can have a hugely beneficial impact on ending homelessness and how we are able to help people.
Some of the houses that we own for homeless people to live in have been part-funded by money gifted to us in wills and helping us to provide more safe and permanent homes for people is an exceptional way to leave your legacy.
We provide all kinds of support to help homeless people change their lives so your legacy can be used to help any number of things:
- You could help provide new learning opportunities for adults who have been homeless and out of the workplace for a long time, to help them regain their confidence and their work skills. Learn more here.
- You could help provide meaningful activities for homeless adults who may have experienced trauma including childhood trauma. You could help them find that one activity that they love maybe fishing, chess or art that really makes a difference to their confidence and self-esteem. Learn more here.
- You could help cover the cost of refurbishing a communal space so that the environment we can offer is stimulating and welcoming.
However you want to help will be of huge value to us.
If you are considering leaving a gift in your will, SSJ can make sure that your legacy is used to improve the lives of homeless people in Hampshire.
