Fundraising

NYAS supports some of the most vulnerable children and young people.

How can you make a difference to a child’s life?

NYAS’ fundraising priorities are:

Securing funding for the NYAS National Advocacy Helpline – ensuring all young people can easily access advocacy support via the phone and online.

Growing the Independent Visitor Programme – raising local funds to enable volunteers to introduce young people they befriend to new activities and experiences during their visit.

Providing free legal advice to children and young people – NYAS is able to provide free legal advice and support for children and young people who fall outside of the legal aid guidelines who are not funded by Legal Aid. Your support will help young people access justice through legal advice and support which is not available elsewhere.

Enabling young people to draw on their experiences to support others – through offering young people with experience of care to mentor other young people and train as Peer Mentors.

Creating a louder and stronger voice for young people – by campaigning on their behalf of children and young people we can improve the lives of many more.

Leaving a gift in your Will to help vulnerable children and young people

Thank you for considering leaving a gift in your Will to NYAS.

We’re working to create a society where every child, young person or vulnerable adult’s voice is heard and their rights are respected and where they can achieve their potential.

What your gift could achieve

By leaving a gift in your Will to NYAS your money can help to support vulnerable children and young people throughout England and Wales by providing them with access to advocacy, advice and representation or support services including positive activities and projects.

Legacy gifts of the past have enabled us to continue to run our children’s advocacy Helpline after grant funding was cut. It helped us to keep the Helpline open until new funding was found.

You can leave a gift in a number of ways, these are some;

Pecuniary gift. This is when you leave a specific sum of money to us.
Residuary gift. This is a share of your estate after you’ve provided for your family and friends, you can leave a share, or the remainder, of your estate to us.
A specific gift. This includes valuable items like jewellery.

Here’s what to do and how to do it:

State in your Will that you would like to leave a gift to NYAS. We recommend using a solicitor or professional will-writer to make sure your Will is legal and valid.
Include our full name, to make sure the money goes to the right place: NYAS, Registered Charity Numbers in England and Wales (1012485).
If you have already written us into your Will, we’re very grateful so please let us know. Also if you have already made a Will and wish to add a gift to NYAS in that Will you can use the Codicil form below.
