Some of the people who leave I CAN a legacy are those we helped as children many years ago, or are parents or relatives of children helped by I CAN or affected by speech and language problems. Others are simply people who understand the importance of communications skills to children’s education, happiness and life chances, and believe that no child should be written off, even those with the most complex difficulties.
A simple action can speak volumes
A legacy gift from you will enable us to continue our work and give children and voice for years to come. Leaving a gift in your will is an easy and effective way to support I CAN. You don't have to chose between family and charity. However large or small, your gift will help future generations to achieve their full potential.

“I am now retired but worked for some years as a speech and language therapist with pre-school children and realised the devastating effect speech and language disorder can have on children's development of literacy and social skills. I have also attended two of I CAN’s courses which I found excellent and very valuable for my work.
Particularly as there seems to be an increase in speech and language difficulties in children, I feel that there will be an ongoing need for organisations such as I CAN. ”

…thank you for supporting us in this special way. Please be assured that your gift will be used efficiently and with care, sensitivity and respect.

If you do decide to tell us, we can ask you how you would like us to communicate with you about our current and future work, or how you may wish to be involved. Any information you give us will remain confidential and you have the absolute right to change your mind about your gift at any time.
In Memoriam Donations
Many people request that family and friends make a donation to their favourite charity instead of sending flowers at a funeral. You can include this instruction in your will or let relatives know of your wish. |
