Leave a lasting legacy for education staff

A gift in your Will to Teaching Staff Trust can help ensure future generations of education staff have somewhere to turn when they need support most.

Every day, teachers, teaching assistants, nursery staff, lecturers and other education professionals dedicate their lives to supporting children and young people. When illness, bereavement, relationship breakdown, domestic abuse, disability or financial hardship disrupt those lives, Teaching Staff Trust is there to help.

By leaving a gift in your Will, you can help provide emergency financial assistance, practical support and access to specialist advice — helping education professionals regain stability and move forward through difficult times.

"The money and vouchers are going to make a huge difference to us and relieve some of the financial worries during an incredibly tough time for us." — Matthew, Teacher

Why leave a gift in your Will?

After taking care of family and loved ones, many people choose to leave a gift to a cause that reflects their values and the difference they want to make in the world.

A gift in your Will to Teaching Staff Trust will help us continue to provide grants, support people affected by illness and bereavement, help those experiencing domestic abuse or housing difficulties, connect beneficiaries to specialist services and respond to growing demand.

The difference your gift could make
