Working with The Cinnamon Trust

The Cinnamon Trust is the only national charity that supports older people, the terminally ill, and their pets.

Its mission is to provide peace of mind to pet owners, ensuring that much-loved pets receive home-from-home care and love. With a network of over 20,000 Volunteers, The Trust provides daily assistance, temporary foster care, or long-term care when owners are no longer able to manage.

The Cinnamon Trust’s work sustains the essential bond between older people and their cherished pets through challenging circumstances. For this reason, we are proud to support their work by providing free Wills to individuals who choose to leave a legacy to The Trust.

Supporting The Cinnamon Trust

The Cinnamon Trust knows that for many older people living alone, their furry companions are key to their well-being and help to keep away loneliness. This bond can create its own worries and The Cinnamon Trust steps in to allay concerns and to ease the responsibilities of loving a pet.

Through its Pet Profiling service, The Cinnamon Trust matches pets to Volunteers or foster homes to minimise disruptions to routines, keeping things as familiar as possible and ensuring that the love and care is always there.

Like many charities, The Cinnamon Trust relies on the dedication of Volunteers and donors to continue operating. If you would like to support their mission, contact us today to write your Will for free.

Why The Cinnamon Trust?

Unlike other services, The Cinnamon Trust never uses kennels or catteries and prioritises the relationship between the owner and the pets. If a pet has to go to a long-term foster home, The Cinnamon Trust will smooth the transition by getting to know each pet’s special needs, taking care to match pets to new owners and never separating pet families.

But their work doesn’t stop there; The Cinnamon Trust continues to provide lifelong support with regular check-ins and even covers all vet bills for pets in long-term foster care.

For pets with complex medical needs, The Cinnamon Trust has two peaceful sanctuaries in the countryside, with live-in staff to care for pets and provides 24/7 veterinary support.

Once a pet is profiled with The Cinnamon Trust, its future is secured, and this gives owners peace of mind to continue to enjoy their life together with their pets without worrying about the future.

So how does it work?

Planning for the future doesn't have to be complicated. All it takes is three simple steps.

You can meet with one of our consultants with our easy to use online service. They'll provide you with guidance and answer any questions you might have, ensuring you understand every step.

2

Your Will is drafted

Our legal team then reviews your instructions, draft your documents and send out a proof for your approval.

3

Sign your Will

Once satisfied, your Will is sent to you for signing and witnessing. Now you have a complete Will with a gift to support a worthy cause.

Why do I need a Will?

A Will is more than a legal document; it’s a way to ensure your wishes are carried out, protect your loved ones, and provide clarity during a difficult time. Without a valid Will, your estate may not be distributed as you intend, which could cause stress and complications for your family.

By creating a Will, you can:

  • Ensure your estate is distributed according to your wishes.
  • Appoint guardians for minor children.
  • Protect your assets for future generations.
  • Support causes close to your heart through charitable gifts.

The IHT benefits of charitable gifting

Leaving a charitable gift in your Will not only supports organisations like The Cinnamon Trust but can also reduce your Inheritance Tax liability.

  • Tax-Free Gifts: Any amount you leave to a registered charity is exempt from IHT and can help reduce the value of your estate below current thresholds, potentially eliminating or lowering the tax burden on your estate.
  • Reduced Tax Rate: If you leave 10% or more of your estate to charity, any IHT due on your estate reduces from 40% to 36%.
