Leaving a gift in your will to Momentum Children’s Charity is a powerful way to ensure families facing childhood cancer and bereavement continue to get the care and support they need, for as long as they need it.

Free will writing service with Octopus Legacy
Write your will for free* with Octopus Legacy and, if you choose to leave a gift to Momentum Children’s Charity, you’ll be helping ensure families facing childhood cancer and bereavement receive the support they need, for as long as they need it.
Why make a will?
Making a will gives you peace of mind. It ensures your loved ones are cared for and that your wishes are carried out. Without one, the law decides how your estate is divided, which may not reflect what matters most to you.
Your family will always come first, but writing a will also gives you the chance to support causes close to your heart.
Write your will for free
We’ve partnered with Octopus Legacy to offer a free* will writing service. You can write your will online, speak to someone over the phone, or arrange an in-person appointment. It’s quick, secure and easy to use from the comfort of your own home.

Not at all. Octopus Legacy’s free will writing service makes it easy to include a gift to Momentum. You can choose to leave a fixed amount, a percentage of your estate, or whatever feels right for you. There’s no obligation, and you can change your mind at any time.
Octopus Legacy’s service is designed to be used without a solicitor, especially for straightforward wills. However, if your estate is more complex or you have specific legal questions, you may still wish to speak to a solicitor.

You can update or rewrite your will at any time. Life can change, and your will should reflect your current wishes. Octopus Legacy makes it simple to make updates if needed.
