A gift in your Will helps us provide the care and resources that allow each individual to live an independent, meaningful life with dignity and respect. It not only secures their future, but also opens up more opportunities for them in the years to come.
These gifts are essential to securing the future of our charity. They help us plan ahead, helping to ensuring our work can continue. With a gift in your Will, we can invest in long-term projects that require ongoing commitment, ensuring we continue to offer the highest level of support to those who depend on us.
For over 40 years, Canterbury Oast Trust has been committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for people with learning disabilities. Our work is made possible thanks to the generosity of people who remember us in their Wills.

Whether large or small, every gift contributes to the vital support we offer, helping individuals thrive and live with greater independence.
