Leave a gift in your Will

Together, we will ensure that more people have access to the support they need—not just today, but for generations to come.

The bpf is dedicated to making our psychotherapy training and low-fee clinical services both equitable and affordable, ensuring that a broader and more diverse range of people can easily access them.

How your gift can make a difference

By leaving a gift in your Will, you’ll help us to continue growing the pool of skilled psychotherapists that reflect the communities in which they live and serve. We will extend our reach with a more diverse and geographically accessible workforce, helping more people who need it access intensive and long-term psychotherapy support, an essential element of building a healthier society.

We will continue to offer low-fee schemes to access therapy, which are essential for making mental health care more equitable, helping to address the mental health needs of individuals across diverse socio-economic backgrounds.

We want people to access the support they need to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives, without the financial barriers holding them back.

Leaving a gift in your Will

Making a Will and keeping it up to date is essential when making sure that your loved ones will benefit in the way you intended after you die.

Legacies to registered charities are tax-exempt. If you leave money to us in your Will, it will be paid out before inheritance tax is deducted, reducing the total amount of tax paid on the estate.
