Leave the gift of music

Your gift can help fund music therapy sessions, develop new resources, support our trained staff, and reach more children than ever before - long into the future.

A message from a legacy donor...

“We aren’t in a position to make financial donations during our lifetime, but we are delighted to know that through our Will we can make a lasting legacy to ensure the continuation of the Fund’s work. Very simply, we have added a codicil to our Will listing some of our musical instruments that we would like to donate to Jessie’s Fund. Knowing that we could be helping to give a profoundly disabled child an outlet to express themselves, or that we could give them and their parents a moment’s respite from anxiety and pain feels like one of the best things we can do.”
