"I want the charity's excellent work to continue..."

Ruby Pike, grandmother to Emma and Lucy explains her decision to include a charity in her will.

"Like most people, I've always supported a few special charities. I'm not a wealthy person, so haven't been able to afford to make huge gifts, but I suspect that over the years my donations have mounted up a bit! The idea of making a gift to charity in my will is something that I've only recently heard of - I have no idea why I hadn't considered it before. I think it's a super idea and have taken the decision to include my two favourite charities in my will. I want them to continue their excellent work, even when I'm no longer around to help out. In my own small way, I want to leave the world a better place for my two granddaughters."
