When we get to a stage in life at which we think about the legacy we want to leave for loved ones and the wider world as a whole we think deeply about values and priorities. We are very explicit about what our values are. You can help us strengthen those values by leaving the Transition Network a gift in your Will. Financial supporters are our lifeline and incredibly valued by us.
The difference you can make
We are a beacon of hope and optimism leading the global transition. Your ongoing support plays a vital role in enabling solutions that are essential to a sustainable, fair and peaceful future. Your gift will help provide future training, share development grants and support for new and emerging transition groups across the world. You can find out more about the Transition Movement here.
"Transition Network felt like an inspirational cause to support with innovative international projects to make sustainable change in the world. We are at a time of polycrisis, and the solutions are with the people, so it is time to empower them and Transition Network is a fantastic organisation to do this."
We appreciate that your first priority when making a Will is to provide for your loved ones. Many people find that after making this provision they can leave something to a cause they hold dear in their heart.
The type of gifts left in a Will can be chosen in a way that suits you best but do ensure you leave your gift to Transition Network (Charity Reg. No. 1128675). If you would like to discuss your legacy gift, please contact Michael Addison

A residue is a gift of whatever is left in your Estate after you have taken care of your loved ones. It is the portion of the individual’s estate that remains after specific gifts and requests have been made, and all Estate claims have been satisfied. With a Residual Gift, family and friends come first.

Every gift is meaningful. The value of the gift is not important, but the value of your legacy is. The sum of every little gift is sufficient to plan a new campaign. But more importantly, the gift is a part of your legacy; it illustrates your values and ideals.
A codicil is a legal document that modifies or amends a previously executed will. It may be identical to a Will or may act in replacement of one.
The process is simple enough. A codicil is an easy way to include a gift to Transition Network without having to re-write your Will, but it is important to seek professional advice to ensure it is legally valid.
Your gift will help provide future training, share development grants and increase support for new and emerging transition groups across the world. You can find out more about the Transition Movement here.
