Leaving a Legacy

By leaving a gift in your will to Housing for Women you can leave a lasting legacy of hope to some of the most vulnerable women and children in London.

Since 1934, we have been working to build a more equal society for women, a world where everyone has a safe roof over their head regardless of circumstance, where violence against women is no longer tolerated.

Although change rarely happens overnight, by leaving a gift in your will to Housing for Women you can play a crucial role in creating a safer future.

Legacies are special gifts, entrusted to us by those who share our values and mission.  Legacy gifts are crucial to the future of our work and the future of women and children across London.

No matter what size, your gift will be used to transform lives, strengthen life-saving services, and protect the rights and safety of survivors in the years ahead.

We have over 80 years’ experience

Our organisation’s roots go back to the suffragette movement. Housing for Women carries on in the footsteps of these early women’s rights campaigners, working with some of the most marginalised groups in the UK, such as trafficked women and women leaving prison.

We are trusted within the sector

We work with a variety of institutions and organisations including local government, the police, social services, national charities and other housing associations.
