Gifts can be made in memoriam of a person who has passed or as
an alternative to flowers at a funeral our patrons may ask for a
donation to Aspect on their behalf.
A growing trend is to ask family and friends to donate to Aspect
in lieu of gifts for many major celebrations or milestones such
as birthdays or anniversaries.

Leave a bequest in your Will
A bequest is a very special gift. It is an opportunity to give
something to a cause you have supported for many years, or an opportunity
to make a larger gift than was possible during your lifetime. Much
has been achieved through bequests made to charities and to make
such a decision is very special.

to Wills & Bequests, visit our Bequests
