Charity and community

Charity and community.

A small firm with a charity habit. We donate a percentage of every Will, and we work directly with charities on legacy giving.

Why charity matters

Why charity matters to SLS.

Estate planning is one of the few professions where every client conversation touches on legacy. We see, every week, how a thoughtful plan can support a family, a community, or a cause that mattered to someone.

We donate to charity ourselves, and we make it easier for clients to do the same. The point is not the marketing of it; the point is the gifts reach the charities our clients care about.

The 5% donation

The 5% donation programme.

Throughout 2026, SLS donates 5% of the cost of every Will we write to charity. The default beneficiaries are Community Driving School and the Loving Legacies Foundation, with allocation rotating each quarter.

Where a client chooses to leave a charitable legacy in their Will, we donate a further 5% to the charity of their choice.

Working with charities

Working with charities directly.

We support charity legacy giving programmes by helping their supporters write a Will, often at preferential rates, and by ensuring legacies are correctly drafted, registered and traceable. If you run a charity that supports clients with Will-writing or probate questions, get in touch.

Sara's involvement

Sara's personal involvement.

Sara takes a personal interest in the firm's charity programme. She reviews the rotating list of partners each quarter and meets the team at Community Driving School CIC and Loving Legacies Foundation CIC regularly to discuss what the partnership is and is not delivering.

Community work, outside the firm

Sara's community work, outside the firm.

Separately from the firm's charity programme, Sara has been an active member of St John Ambulance for over thirty-five years. The work began when she was a teenager teaching first aid to younger members, and she has stayed close to the organisation ever since.

Today she is a St John Ambulance safeguarding trainer, supporting volunteers across her region to work safely with young people. The role is voluntary; the commitment is constant. For Sara it is a separate strand from the firm's giving and a kind of work she would do whether she ran SLS Wills and More or not.
