Building a Legacy Together: A Message from Our CEO

At Lyons Bowe, we know that life is made up of milestones. Buying your first home, starting a family, moving to a new city, planning for retirement, these moments remind us of what matters most. They are also the moments when many people stop to think about the future, not just their own, but the future of their loved ones and the wider community.

Building a Legacy Together: A Message from Our CEO

Writing a Will is one of the most important ways to protect those you care about. But it is also an opportunity to go beyond that, to create a legacy that carries your values forward and continues to make a difference long after you are gone.

This is the spirit behind our Charity Will Scheme.

A Small Gift, A Lasting Impact

Many people don’t realise just how powerful leaving a gift in their Will can be. Even the smallest gift has the potential to change lives, fund vital projects, and give charities the security they need to plan ahead with confidence.

Through our Charity Will Scheme, we make it simple. Clients who choose to leave a charitable gift can write or update their Will at a reduced cost. It’s a straightforward way to protect your family’s future while also creating a ripple effect of generosity that reaches far beyond your lifetime.

Legacy giving is not about large sums or grand gestures. It’s about the principle of contribution, about recognising that every gift, no matter its size, adds to a collective impact that strengthens our communities.

Partnering for Greater Good

We are proud to work alongside Remember A Charity, a consortium of nearly 200 charities across the UK. Their mission is to make leaving a gift in your Will a natural part of life planning, and it’s a vision we wholeheartedly share.

By combining their reach with our expertise, we are helping more people than ever understand just how accessible and meaningful legacy giving can be. Together, we are making sure that generosity becomes part of everyday conversations about planning for the future.

Modern, Accessible, Secure

We know that for many, the process of writing a Will can feel daunting. That’s why we’ve built our service around transparency, accessibility, and reassurance.

• Fixed, clear pricing so you know exactly what to expect.

• Flexible appointments that fit into busy lives.

• Secure digital storage, giving you peace of mind that your Will is safe.

• Registration with the National Will Register, providing an additional layer of security for your family in the future.

Our goal is to remove barriers, modernise the process, and give every client the confidence to take this important step.

Why Now?

There is never a wrong time to write a Will, but there are moments when it becomes particularly important. Buying your first property, starting a business, welcoming a child, or stepping into retirement these are natural points in life to think about how you want your legacy to be shaped.

By including a charitable gift in your Will, you’re not only ensuring your family is cared for you’re also creating a story that continues long after you’re gone. It’s a way of leaving the world a little better than you found it, of making sure your values live on through the causes you choose to support.

Looking Ahead

The response to our Charity Will Scheme has been inspiring. More and more of our clients are choosing to leave a gift, and the impact of their generosity is already beginning to take shape. It shows us that legacy giving is not just for a few it’s something everyone can consider, regardless of their circumstances.

At Lyons Bowe, we are committed to making this opportunity available to as many people as possible. We will continue to invest in making the process simpler, more transparent, and more accessible, while also working with Remember A Charity to ensure legacy giving becomes a natural part of planning for the future.

A Message from Our CEO, Paul Lyons

“Legacy is about more than what we leave behind, it’s about the positive impact we can create for the future. Our Charity Will Scheme gives every client the chance to protect their family while also supporting the wider community.

I’m incredibly proud of the generosity our clients have already shown, and I look forward to seeing how together, we can continue to build a lasting legacy for generations to come.”

Warm regards,


Paul Lyons,
Chief Executive,
Lyons Bowe
