#DonateToAdvocate

Advocate is an independent charity that relies on donations to meet all its running costs. 

Donations made on a regular committed basis (for example by standing order) are particularly appreciated, as they allow us to plan properly for the future. When a Gift Aid declaration is completed, at no additional cost to yourself, we receive an extra 25p for every pound that you give. So a donation of £100 is worth £125!

A regular or one off donation, big or small, is gratefully received and will enable us to continue to help everyday people get free legal assistance. If you would like to set up a regular or make a one-off donation online you can do so here. If you have any issues setting up your donation, you can email Sana who will be able to assist you.

We are very grateful to all those sets of chambers, organisations and individuals who already donate to us. Please see a list of our supporters here.

If you are a barrister, there is also a yearly opportunity to donate to Advocate when you renew your practising certificate.

Please note: We are unable to accept donations from current Advocate applicants. If you donate while your case with us is ongoing, we will have to provide you with a refund. We do not charge a fee for our services.

Gifts in Wills

Donating to Advocate as part of your will can be a special way to contribute towards the fight for access to justice for future generations.

There are three ways you can leave gifts in wills:

• A share of your estate (Residuary Legacy) – after you have established what is going to family and friends, you can donate a share of what is left. Residuary Legacies are also inflation proof, so you will not have to update your will in the future.
• A specific amount of money (Pecuniary Legacy) – you can also leave a specific sum to Advocate, and you can do this simply by listing the amount in your will.
• A specific item – if you own an item that you think will be of value to Advocate’s work when sold, such as a rare vintage item or jewellery, you can also list this item in your will.
