Leaving a legacy to Autism Jersey

Many people feel uncomfortable discussing the subject of wills and legacies, but they are so important, both for the peace of mind of the person making them, and for charities like ours who are so often remembered in them. For most people, leaving a legacy will be the greatest contribution they ever make to the support of a charity, and one that will create a lasting difference for years to come. It stands as a true and enduring legacy to those left behind. Remember, any donation, however big or small, can make a huge difference.

Autism Jersey is the leading Jersey charity dedicated to the assistance and support of people on the autism spectrum. We have secure and well-developed expertise in the provision of autism-related services to the Government of Jersey, regulated by the Jersey Care Commission.

Charitable Services are designed to provide autistic individuals, families/carers with an immediate response and a range of ongoing support not funded by the Government and are free at the point of delivery.

It’s never too early to make a will, and a legacy to Autism Jersey is a valuable and lasting way to extend your support and protect the future of autistic individuals.   Every gift in every will can change lives, when you pledge to leave a gift in your will to Autism Jersey, we will:

  • Promise to use your gift wisely.

  • Recognise you might want your gift used in a special way - don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to discuss options.

  • Will treat you and your next of kin sensitively and with respect and gratitude.

 Through the generosity of donors, supporters, and partners, we can achieve our vision for a future where every autistic individual can be themselves through a diverse, inclusive, and accepting community.
