Legacies

Remember Dyslexia Action in your will."When I was six years old I was diagnosed with dyslexia. My mother already knew about our local Dyslexia Action centre when I first started having trouble at school and so I was lucky enough to get the help I needed. A lot of my friends didn't have that support and I know they really struggled. If you can't learn to read, you can't read to learn.

I decided to include Dyslexia Action in my will because I know that dyslexia doesn't need to be a barrier - learning doesn't need to be a struggle with the right support.

I know Dyslexia Action delivers results and that by leaving a gift others like me can also have the confidence to achieve in learning and life." Michael Blakey, Director, Avonmore Developments Ltd

Leaving a legacy to Dyslexia Action is one of the most wonderful gifts you could ever make. You can be sure that any donation you make to us will be wisely invested in ensuring that children and adults with dyslexia and specific learning disabilities continue to receive the help and support they so desperately need.

Your generosity could make a huge difference in changing lives and even a little can mean a lot! We want to make leaving such a special gift as easy as possible. Please find below some useful links and information which may help to advise you about your options should you decide to remember Dyslexia Action in your will.
