Remember a Charity Week 13-19 September
Remember a Charity is one of the biggest UK cross-charity campaigns, and it’s first awareness week will take place 13-19 September, the aim of which will be to encourage more people to leave a gift to charity in their will.
A number of their charities will mark the end of the week at the Bupa Great North Run.
Rob Cope, director at Remember A Charity, said: “The Great North Run has a fabulous track record of supporting good causes, so it’s fitting that we can mark the end of Remember A Charity Week at the world’s biggest half marathon”.
“Many people in the UK don’t realise that they can give money to charities in their will, but the truth is, after looking after family and friends, a small share of whatever is left can make a real difference to charities and the invaluable work they do.”
