The Future Fund

The Liberal Democrat Future Fund was established to ensure that those who wish to leave a gift in their Will can have a lasting impact on the party for years to come.

The scale of our 2024 General Election success would not have been possible without generous legacies received that helped boost our campaign. These gifts helped us win additional key battleground seats which otherwise would not have got over the line.

The Future Fund will help us build upon the best result in the party’s history by electing more local champions across our communities. With your support, we can secure a more liberal future for Britain.

How you can leave a gift in your Will

It is easy to leave a gift to the Liberal Democrats in your Will, while also providing for your loved ones.

To make the process easier, we’ve partnered with expert estate planners, Octopus Legacy, so you can write or update your Will for free. Your Will is personal and should reflect your wishes, which is why the team at Octopus Legacy are on hand to ensure that your needs are met.

“Our party is driven by the commitment, passion and generosity of members, activists and supporters like you, who have dedicated vital support to the Liberal Democrats.

“Leaving a gift in your will to the Liberal Democrats is one way to recognise and protect the values and beliefs you have championed as a committed Liberal Democrat.”

Ramesh Dewan, Chair of the Liberal Democrat Future Fund & Legacy Society

How leaving a gift in your Will makes a difference

Without the incredible kindness and support of legacy pledgers, we would not be able to continue supporting the candidates and campaigns which protect the future of the Liberal Democrats.

Gifts in Wills can take many forms - they can be a fixed amount, a percentage of your estate, or the proceeds from a specific gift.

Leaving a percentage of your estate is an approach that reduces the need to revise your will in line with inflation or other changes in value.
