Leaving a gift in your Will can change a young person’s life
For nearly 150 years, YMCA Cornwall has been a safe place for young people who feel lost or alone. A gift in your Will helps us provide a safe home, guidance and the skills young people need to build a brighter future.
Even leaving 1% of your estate can make a lasting difference for the next generation in Cornwall.
If you would like to make or update your Will, please speak to a Solicitor.
