Gifts in Wills

A will is a good way to plan for the needs of your family and loved ones.

We understand your friends and family always come first but giving to Mind in your Will is one way you can leave a gift that helps future generations.

By leaving a gift to Middlesbrough and Stockton Mind you can also help make sure that in the future no one has to face a mental health problem alone.

Many people with a mental health issue don't know where they can go for local support.

Our goal is for people to access our free mental health support quickly, and easily. You could help us do this.

Leaving a gift in your Will could go towards spreading the word about our work we do. You have the power to change lots of local people's lives. And its completely your choice on how you would like us to use the money.

Why people leave a gift

“When my brother took his own life during a prolonged mental illness in 2007, my reaction, like many, was complete sadness. We did some fundraising afterwards, which was a fitting tribute because we couldn’t say ‘goodbye’. So often mental health is a silent topic and Mind raises awareness about these illnesses that affect people very seriously. That’s why I’ve included a gift in my Will to Mind.” Douglas
